Verdi's opera classic La Traviata will intoxicate the audience with its glamorous costumes, magnificent stage settings and passionate toasting song, one of the world's most famous opera melodies. Joined by conductor Daniel Oren, the version to be staged at Guangzhou Opera House is co-presented with the UK Royal Opera House, whose production of La Traviata has been acclaimed since it debuted in 1994. The three-act opera tells a sad story about how misunderstanding and class consciousness sour the brave romance between a socialite and an aristocrat.

8 pm, Sept 27-28. 7 pm, Sept 29. Opera Hall of Guangzhou Opera House, Exit B1 of Zhujiang New Town subway station, the interchange of Line 3 and 5, Guangzhou. 020-3839-2888.
