Opera Australia will return to Melbourne’s Regent Theatre with a production of “La Traviata.”

The opera will be presented from May 8-16 in Sarah Giles’ production, a co-production by Opera Queensland, State Opera South Australia and West Australian Opera.

The production star Stacey Alleaume and Maria Laura Iacobellis as Violetta alongside Filipe Manu and Oreste Cosimo as Alfredo and baritones Andrii Kymach and Luke Gabbedy as Giorgio Germont.

Italian conductor Giampaolo Bisanti will lead Orchestra Victoria and the Opera Australia Chorus.

Alleaume returns to perform the role she has sung to critical acclaim in opera houses around the world, including Hong Kong, Italy and Wales. Iacobellis will make her Australian debut in this production and has performed such leading roles as Donna Anna (“Don Giovanni”), Musetta (“La Bohème”), Nannetta (“Falstaff”) and Pamina (“Die Zauberflöte”).
