DENVER, Jan. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- By popular demand, Fathom Events and the Metropolitan Opera will screen special encores of Verdi's La Traviata, recorded live from the Met earlier this season, in cinemas nationwide on Wednesday, February 15, at 1:00PM and 6:30PM local time.

The performance from November 2022 starred soprano Nadine Sierra in a tour-de-force performance as Violetta, one of opera's most iconic roles. Joining Sierra was tenor Stephen Costello as her lover Alfredo and baritone Luca Salsi as Alfredo's disapproving father, Germont. The production was directed by Tony Award–winner Michael Mayer, with Daniele Callegari on the podium. Soprano Renée Fleming hosted the transmission.
