Aleksandra Kurzak to Star in Paris Opera’s Short Film ‘Violetta’
By David SalazarThe Opéra National de Paris has announced that starting on May 27, 2020, it will be streaming “Violetta,” a short film based on Verdi’s “La Traviata.”
The short film, which was produced by 3e scène, was created in 2019, at l’Opéra Bastille and the Hôpital Gustave-Roussy de Villejuif. It merges the story of opera star Aleksandra Kurzak as she interprets the title role of the Verdi opera and the life of a patient at the hospital, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
The film lasts 18 minutes.
This is the latest production by 3e Scène, a company launched by the Paris Opera in 2015. The organization has created 59 original works and has over 5.9 million viewers since its launch.
