"La Traviata"
Opera by Giuseppe Verdi

18.07.2026 - Eppstein Castle Ruins
Start: 19:30 - Admission: from 18:30

All opera lovers can look forward to the new production of the opera "La Traviata" by Giuseppe Verdi on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 19:30 (admission from 18:30) in the historic Eppstein Castle Ruins. The ensemble of the Opera Classica Europa presents one of the most popular and frequently performed operas in music history.

The dramatic story takes place in Parisian society in the mid-19th century. At its center is the terminally ill courtesan Violetta Valéry, who must sacrifice her great love for Alfredo Germont to societal constraints and the moral standards of the time.

The global success story of this highly emotional work has been ongoing for more than 150 years and continues to captivate audiences today, especially through its many rousing melodies. Numerous well-known earworms await the audience, including the popular drinking song "Libiamo ne’ lieti calici," which is present at almost every major gala concert, and "Sempre Libera," one of the most famous soprano arias. In the second act follows, among others, the wonderful baritone aria "Di Provenza il mar, il suol," and last but not least, in the third act, the poignant farewell romance "Addio, del passato" of the seriously ill Violetta, as well as the touching duet "Parigi, o cara, noi lasceremo," when the long-separated lovers finally see each other again.

International vocal soloists, along with the opera choir and the orchestra of the Opera Classica Europa, will transport the audience into the world of this very special opera and provide an unforgettable experience in a romantic open-air atmosphere.

Advance ticket sales have already begun.
