The two fall madly in love, and though hesitant to leave behind her life of luxury and freedom, Violetta follows her heart. But the young couple's happiness is short-lived, as the harsh realities of life soon come knocking. As intimate as it is sumptuous, La traviata features some of opera's most famous melodies, and is a star vehicle for its leading soprano role sung by Ermonela Jaho. In director Richard Eyre's world of seductive grandeur, the tender and devastating beauty at the centre of Verdi’s opera shines bright.

Wednesday 04 February 2026 Venue:  Theatre Royal     map   Live music  •  Opera  •  Theatre Address:   Jewry Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8SB Telephone:  Box office: 01962 840440 Event:  Così fan tutte - 2.30pm & 7.30pm - Mozart's Così fan tutte – A Comedy of Love, Lies and Lessons of Life Playful deception meets its match in Mozart's sparkling comic opera Così fan tutte, reminding us that love is rarely as simple — or as certain — as we'd like to believe. Two young officers make a reckless wager. Can their fiancées remain faithful when temptation comes knocking? With a mischievous plot hatched by a worldly friend, disguises, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements spiral into a deliciously absurd tangle. Set to some of Mozart's most radiant and intricate music and sung in English to a translation by Amanda Holden, Così fan tutte blends razor-sharp wit with moments of truth and reflection in this vibrant production that proves Mozart knew the human heart all too well. English translation by Amanda Holden with additional material by the company. Venue's website:  theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk Venue's Facebook:   facebook.com/TRWinchester
