Ian Clarke

Ian Clarke gives a strongly positive review of La traviata at Norwich Theatre Royal, describing Giuseppe Verdi’s opera as an accessible and emotionally powerful introduction to the genre. The production, presented through a collaboration between Norwich Theatre and Buxton International Festival, follows the tragic romance of Violetta and Alfredo in late-19th-century Paris. Clarke particularly praises the performances of Alexandra Nowakowski, Tigran Melkonyan and Andre Heyboer, and recommends the production to other first-time opera attendees.
