Their film of Verdi’s La Traviata is complete. The Master tells me it is a beautifully crafted piece. Available on Sky Arts. We watched.

Susan Gaspar is Violetta, Thomas Elwin, Alfredo, and Roderick Williams is a compelling Germont, convincing Violetta she should sacrifice her love for his son – so his daughter’s snobby fiancé won’t give her the push.

Contrary to popular myth, dogs can watch TV and the singing direct to camera is a thing to behold. Not just a film of an opera. Different art form.
