Staged by Willy Decker. Here is the opera event of 2005, the Salzburg Festival’s “La Traviata” featuring Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazón, and Thomas Hampson in a dramatic staging by Willy Decker – the thrilling production that prompted riotous ovations not seen since Karajan’s heyday. Rolando Villazón and Anna Netrebko captivated the world of opera with sensational performances: “This production is something special: a Traviata so dramatically intense and vocally secure that no other contemporary contender can beat it.” The Times, London “A triumph . . . Uniquely compelling.” Die Presse, Vienna Extra tracks:Documentary: Behind the Scenes – The Rehearsals for LA TRAVIATA – Introduction by Rolando Villazón |
