There will be an encore screening of the showcase on April 17, 2022 and audiences will be able to watch the performance at movie theaters around the globe.

“Richard Eyre’s beloved production of ‘La traviata’ is one of those rare jewels – still working its magic many years after its celebrated premiere. It is an opera embraced by newcomers and aficionados alike and, with a talented cast of singers led by Pretty Yende and Stephen Costello, is the perfect ROH production to enjoy in cinemas this spring,” said Oliver Mears, Director of the Royal Opera House in an official press statement.

This is the fifth of six total live performances presented in cinema in the ROH’s 2021-22 season. It follows performances of “Rigoletto,” “Tosca,” “The Nutcracker,” and “Romeo and Juliet.”
