The Met: Live in HD, the Metropolitan Opera's award-winning series of live high-definition cinema simulcasts, presents Verdi's La Traviata, Saturday, November 5 at 12:55 pm ET. La Traviata will be presented in the Warner Theatre's beautiful Oneglia Auditorium. A complementary lecture by Cherie Caluda, soprano and Associate Professor of Voice at the The Hartt School, will be offered two hours before the opera in the Warner Theatre's Atrium (11 - 11:45am).

Verdi's La Traviata, starring soprano Nadine Sierra, returns to cinemas worldwide on Saturday, November 5 as part of The Met: Live in HD series.

Joining Sierra is tenor Stephen Costello as her lover Alfredo and baritone Luca Salsi as Alfredo's disapproving father, Germont.

The production is directed by Tony Award-winner Michael Mayer, with Daniele Callegari on the podium. Soprano Renée Fleming will host the live transmission. For tickets and more information, visit warnertheatre.org or call (860) 489-7180.
