La Traviata, one of the worlds best loved romantic operas, and is performed under the stars on a floating, mirrored stage in Sydney Harbour, with the city, Opera House and Harbour Bridge acting as a stunning backdrop.

Giuseppe Verdi's captivating music is performed with the orchestra concealed in a studio beneath the stage to ensure the finest amplified sound combines with the superlative singing of the cast. With the singers discreetly miked, the recorded sound is presented here in superb quality.

Emma Matthews is continually being garnered with praise - Emma Matthews could inspire the dead, turning in one of the finest readings of this role Ive ever heard (International Record Review on Rigoletto), As Gilda, Emma Matthews is outstanding (Opera Now on Rigoletto).

Includes a glittering Swarovski chandelier illuminating the stage and fireworks decorating Sydney Harbours sky-line, which render this production as something truly spectacular.
