Soloists from the New York Metropolitan Opera and beyond will join the New Jersey Festival Orchestra (NJFO) at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 5, to present Giuseppe Verdi’s renowned masterpiece, “La Traviata.” The concert takes place at The Concert Hall at Drew University in Madison.
Verdi’s most timeless and lyrical score, “La Traviata” has continued to captivate audiences for more than 150 years, organizers said. In the glitzy world of Paris, a naive young man falls head over heels for a glamorous society party girl. Together they trade the fast life for an idyllic love nest in the country…until bourgeois society values tragically tear them apart and force them to give up their dreams.
