Verdi's doomed lovers, but make it eco-friendly.
La traviata, an opera in three acts with music by Giuseppe Verdi and libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, was staged at the Teatro del Libertador in December 2023. It was an innovative staging using recycled materials, with the performance of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Córdoba and the Cordoba Polyphonic Choir together with a notable cast of soloists and the general direction of maestro JongWhi Vakh.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
La Traviata was scandalous in 1853 — based on real courtesan Marie Duplessis, Verdi insisted on contemporary dress. The censors forced him to set it in 1700. This 2024 production's recycled aesthetic brings it full circle: modern relevance, disguised as period.
The Teatro del Libertador production used over 3,000 repurposed objects. Violetta's deathbed? Constructed from salvaged hospital equipment. That's not just staging — that's thematic murder.
