This is my favourite opera and I have seen it many times, but I was very disappointed with this production. Among many aspects I didn't like: the first act was very drab considering it was a party; very little was made of the Spanish dancers in the second part of Act 2; we could not hear Violetta reading the letter in the final act as she disappeared behind a screen and her voice couldn't be heard; I cannot understand why the poor girl who was dying couldn't have a bed and had to throw herself on the floor. It was a real pity that the technology for the English translation didn't work. I took my daughter to see this opera for her first time, and it would have made a huge difference for her enjoyment if the technology had worked.
