Fierce & intense: Peter Konwitschny's production of La traviata returns to ENO with a mesmerising account of the title role from Nicole Chevalier
[…] October 2023, now in the hands of director Ruth Knight, with designs by Johannes Leiacker. Nicole Chevalier was Violetta with Jose Simerilla Romero as Alfredo and Roland Wood as Giorgio Germont, Richard Farnes conducted.The view of the opera is a fierce one, the party guests in Act One are almost vicious, this wasn't a fun event and there is no party in Act Two, scene two gets down to the action with Violetta, Alfredo and the Baron straight away. Musically, this was a very direct performance, very modern in the sense that we got the score with none of the bel canto interpolations like added high notes.

L'Aube rouge premiered in Rouen in 1911, it inhabits a similar world to Giordano’s Fedora, with Nihilistic plots forming the backdrop. But since Erlanger's death, his operas have almost dropped off the radar.[Note: Camille Erlanger should not be confused with his contemporary, the Anglo-French composer Baron Frédéric Alfred d'Erlanger (1868 – 1943) whose works include an opera, Tess (to a libretto by Luigi Illica after Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles) which premiered at the San Carlo in Naples, and a ballet, Les cents baisers which was performed by the Ballets Russes and choreographed by Bronislava Nijinska]Ella had not come across the Erlanger's L'Aube rouge before Rosetta Cucchi, Wexford's artistic director, asked her to direct the piece. Now, Ella finds it […]
