Summary

Diana Damrau's primacy as an interpreter of Violetta Valéry in La traviata can be inferred from the names of theatres where she has performed Verdi's most popular opera: the Metropolitan, New York; La Scala, Milan; London's Royal Opera House; the Bavarian State Opera in Munich and the Zurich Opera. Paris's Opéra Bastille joined that list of leading houses in June 2014, when the German soprano appeared in a new production by the film director Benoît Jacquot. Conducted by Francesco Ivan Ciampa, it is presented on this DVD release from Warner Classics, which joins a DVD of Verdi's Rigoletto, with Damrau as Gilda, recorded in Dresden and released in 2010, and the recent CD release of the soprano's spine-tingling interpretation of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, recorded live in Munich
