La Traviata
2023-01-13 20:30 - 22:00
The opera “La Traviata,” created by Giuseppe Verdi, was first staged on March 6, 1853 at the Teatro La Fenice opera house in Venice… and it was a total disaster! Nowadays, La Traviata is one of the most popular and most performed operas around the world.
You can experience La Traviata opera in Rome with the I Virtuosi dell’Opera di Roma orchestra. Giuseppe Verdi’s opera in Rome lets the audience take part in the tragic love story between Violetta Valery and Alfredo Germont.
The story is a taboo love in 1853 that comes alive once again, unleashing all its power through the performances of sopranos Carmela Maffongelli and Sabrina Testa (as Violetta) and tenors Domenico Tegliafilo and Adriano Gentili (as Alfredo).

Lady Tan’s Circle of Women
2024-07-18 19:00 - 20:30
According to Confucius, “an educated woman is a worthless woman,” but Tan Yunxian—born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separations, and loneliness—is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine, the Four Examinations—looking, listening, touching, and asking—something a man can never do with a female patient.
From a young age, Yunxian learns about women’s illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. The two girls find fast friendship and a mutual purpose—despite the prohibition that a doctor should never touch blood while a midwife comes in frequent contact with it—and they vow to be forever friends, sharing in each other’s joys and struggles. No mud, no lotus , they tell from adversity beauty can bloom.
But when Yunxian is sent into an arranged marriage, her mother-in-law forbids her from seeing Meiling and from helping the women and girls in the household. Yunxian is to act like a proper wife—embroider bound-foot slippers, recite poetry, give birth to sons, and stay forever within the walls of the family compound, the Garden of Fragrant Delights.
How might a woman like Yunxian break free of these traditions and lead a life of such importance that many of her remedies are still used five centuries later? How might the power of friendship support or complicate these efforts? A captivating story of women helping each other, Lady Tan’s Circle of Women is a triumphant reimagining of the life of one person who was remarkable in the Ming dynasty and would be considered remarkable today.
