Directed by Samuel Abrahams in his feature debut, Lady combines laugh-out-loud comedy with moments of unexpected humanity, creating an irreverent portrait of a woman blissfully unaware of how the rest of the world sees her.

Inspired by Alexandre Dumas fils’ The Lady of the Camellias, Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata is one of opera’s most moving and enduring love stories. It follows the passionate but fragile relationship between the celebrated courtesan Violetta Valéry and the young nobleman Alfredo Germont. As their happiness is threatened by social expectation, sacrifice and illness, Verdi’s music captures both the glamour of Parisian high society and the deep emotional cost beneath it. La Traviata remains a powerful exploration of love, freedom and the price of living outside society’s rules in nineteenth-century France and features unforgettable melodies, intimate drama and heartbreaking humanity.
