November 3-4, Gwangyang Culture & Arts Center Grand Theater

The Gwangyang City Choir announced that on November 3rd (Friday) at 7:30 PM and November 4th (Saturday) at 3:00 PM, they will present the 24th regular concert opera "La Traviata" at the Culture and Arts Center Grand Theater in connection with the 2023 National (Disabled) Sports Festival.


"La Traviata," meaning "The Woman Who Lost Her Way," is a tragic love story about Violetta, the flower of Parisian high society who lived pursuing pleasure, and Alfred, a pure young man whom she meets and awakens to true love. The work delivers a critique of the social realities of the time while conveying the essence of humanity and the meaning of mature love, resonating deeply with the audience.
