Our La Traviata in January 2010 will be the glamorous, spectacular production this wonderful opera deserves.  Mark your calendars now for Friday, January 15 at 8 PM and Sunday, January 17 at 2 PM. 

Metropolitan opera star Olga Makarina will be making her debut with Mercury Opera as Violetta. We are fortunate that Dinyar Vania will return as Alfredo, following his impressive debut here in Tosca.

Peformances will be conducted by Artistic Director Benton Hess. David Bartholomew, who directed our Tosca in January, will return to direct La Traviata.
