La Traviata at Annapolis Opera
“Annapolis Opera mounts a passionate and colorful ‘La Traviata’….Annapolis Opera’s production of La Traviata is a passionate, colorful adaptation of Verdi’s classic tale. Directed by Eve Summer and conducted by Craig Kier, it is a beautiful way to end the season.”
’Director Eve Summer creates lots of movement among the performers, having them flow back and forth on stage. The matador scene is especially clever in its symbolic “goring” of bulls. Music, singing, and acting come together for a moving story of love and sacrifice. Only one performance remains, so be sure to catch it.’
Charles Green, DC Theater Arts
“Annapolis Opera's La Traviata: A Charmer, Thrilling at Times…The packed house on Sunday…expressed their appreciation in thunderous applause and a fast-out-of-their-seats standing ovation… Dancing in opening scenes immediately created the party atmosphere of the salon and later enhanced the fun of the matador scene. The deathbed finale was well designed by Director Summer.”
