The directors of the Metropolitan Opera have generously donated a pair of Prime Orchestra seats, ordinarily reserved for their own use (so they can dash up the aisle and backstage), to La Traviata on Wednesday March 19th at 7:30 PM. Ruth Ann Swenson returns with her highly acclaimed interpretation of Verdi's most engaging heroine, portrayed earlier this season by Renée Fleming, in Zeffirelli's opulent production. Lyric tenors Jonas Kaufmann and Matthew Polenzani share the role of Alfredo, the conflicted lover of the title’s “fallen woman.” An irresistible score and deeply human characters ensure the timeless impact of this romantic favorite. Tickets value = $350; minimum bid $175.
