La Traviata, Wiener Staatsoper (7 Sept 2019)

Saw the "live" broadcast (no longer live by my time zone :) ) with Thomas Hampson, Charles Castronovo, and (as it turns out) Ekaterina Siurina (Irina Lunga was supposed to be Violetta). Generally speaking I found it much more compelling than the Wiener Staatsoper Traviata broadcast I saw last year with the same staging.

( Unsurprisingly, I loved Germont. Surprisingly, I loved Alfredo! Violetta was a bit of a mixed bag, but she had a good reason. )
