La traviata was presented at the Teatro Real in a unique context. The opera was presented with fewer rehearsals than normal and with a stage proposal designed to adapt to circumstances. The entire team of the Teatro Real, as well as the artists and the Titular Chorus and Orchestra, took on the challenge with an enormous sense of responsibility, a lot of imagination and a great enthusiasm for taking another step towards the normalization of artistic life, encouraging the public and the citizens to face with courage and positive spirit the new reality in which we found ourselves.
The stage director Leo Castaldi devised a semi-staged concert version, in collaboration with the light designer Carlos Torrijos and the technical team of the Teatro Real, using elements of props, costumes and characterization from the back of the theatre.
