Yep, Sofia Coppola gets her name above that of Verdi, who only composed the bloody thing. The story, in case you need reminding: hot courtesan Violetta falls for toff Alfredo and they shack up together. But having sacrificed her life of luxury for love, she finds herself implored by his dad, Giorgio, to dump him for the sake of the family’s reputation.
Recorded live in HD back in 2016 at Rome’s Teatro dell’ Opera, Coppola’s sell-out production boasts costumes by Valentino and sets by Batman’s production designer. This was still insufficient to impress The Gruaniad, which sniffed that it “looks good but has little to say”.
