Local star and diva Elaine Henson is once again appearing in a classic opera production at the Quay Theatre from 25th to 27th November. A performer of many talents, she takes on the small but important role of Flora, in addition to providing the alto chorus line and fulfilling other duties to support the production.
Verdi's La Traviata is a great opera, with many wonderful tunes. It tells the tale of a courtesan who gives up all for love and then makes a great sacrifice before expiring at some length in the last act. Based on 'The Lady of the Camellias' by Dumas it is riveting from beginning to end.
Do try to get along if you can!
