La Traviata

"La Traviata" is the most performed opera in the world, and it is also one of the most tragic love stories ever told. Often reaching an unrestrained and syrupy banality in its interpretations, it contains timeless themes and conflicts: society and the individual, morality and righteousness, exploitation and the exploited, parents and children, illness and life, sin and redemption...

Duration 160 Minutes
Language Italian
Subtitles Bulgarian English

A psychological tale about the drama of a 24-year-old courtesan suffering from tuberculosis, who, at the end of her life, experiences true love. A love that changes her. A love that makes her forget her own and others' prejudices! A love that tests her pride, conscience, and morality! A love for which she makes a sacrifice—returning to the life she has been fleeing! A love that leads her to accept humility as the only way to redeem her past!

LA TRAVIATA - "The Lost One" finds her path. A path for others.
