Elliot Wilhelm, director and programmer of the DIA’s Detroit Film Theatre, is excited to broaden the range of DFT offerings. “This is a wonderful chance for opera-lovers to see some of the most elaborate, star-studded productions from famous European opera houses without leaving Michigan, and at a reasonable price,” said Wilhelm. “The extremely high visual and audio quality of these performances will have audiences feeling as if they’ve been transported to another time and place.”

La Traviata by Verdi
Giuseppi Verdi’s La Traviata, presented from the stage of Teatro alla Scala, the world’s most famous opera house, was inspired by Alexandre Dumas’ The Lady of the Camelias; the opera’s title means literally “The Woman Who Strayed.” Courtesan Violetta Valéry (Angela Gheorghiu in her highly anticipated La Scala debut) meets a new admirer, Alfredo Germont (Ramón Vargas), who confesses his love. Trouble intrudes with Alfredo's father who demands she renounce his son, since the scandal of Alfredo's affair with her has threatened his daughter's engagement. Staged for la Scala by Liliana Cavani (The Night Porter, Ripley’s Game), conducted by Lorin Maazel, and featuring Natascha Petrinsky and Tiziana Tramonti.
The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA),located at 5200 Woodward Avenue in Detroit, is one of the premier art museums in the United States and home to more than 60,000 works that comprise a multicultural survey of human creativity from ancient times through the 21st century. From the first van Gogh painting to enter a U.S. museum (Self Portrait, 1887), to Diego Rivera's world-renowned Detroit Industry murals (1932–33), the DIA's collection is known for its quality, range, and depth.
Programs are made possible with support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the City of Detroit.
