Attention Die Hard Romantics! Win Tickets to LA TRAVIATA



Pretty Woman
, The Notebook and Twilight. While, yes, these movies have their differences, they all tell the story of a love that shouldn't have worked. It's a story we're all familiar with: Boy meets girl and fancies the pants off her. Much like Romeo and Juliet, it's love at first sight. Or in the case of Twilight, ahem, it's love at first bite. Alas - be it anything from his controlling father, her family background, his taste for blood or her past as a brazzer - the pair aren't so suitably matched. While they hope their love will surpass such issues, sometimes society just won't allow it.

Ring any bells? It should do. Year in, year out, Hollywood takes this simple story and reinterprets it - ad nauseum - into various contemporary settings. And while there's no doubt that we at entertainment.ie are massive fans of the cinema, this time we're trying something new. After all, the good folk of Hollywood weren't the first to present an epic love story.

For something altogether different, we're delighted to celebrate the release of Guiseppe Verdi's moving masterpiece, La Traviata. Coming to Dublin's Grand Canal Theatre this November 23rd, with a full-scale production by The Tchaikovsky Perm State Opera of Russia, we invite you to revel in the power of a live stage performance, to experience the romantic tragedy of Violetta and Alfredo, a story that, since 1853, continues to transcend generations.

Sharing the spotlight with guest soloists from other European companies, and accompanied by The RTE National Symphony Orchestra, this is not just for fans of opera. With spectacular staging, voices that will leave you breathless and a story that will resonate to the depths of your heart, La Traviata is not to be missed.

The Tchaikovsky Perm State Opera of Russia's production of La Traviata plays the Grand Canal Theatre from Wednesday 23rd - Sunday 27th November 2011.

Buy Tickets Now

To celebrate Verdi's greatest masterpiece La Traviata coming to the Grand Canal Theatre this November, we have 3 pairs of tickets to give away to the show on Wednesday 23rd.

    Margaret was horrified to discover that she wasn't the only one wearing red at the annual Farmers' Wives gala ball that year. Her plan to crawl out unseen was going well until one of the sheep farmers, mistaking her for a chair, attempted to sit on her. Margaret never received any more invites and her back was never quite the same.

    "I Am an Opera Singer" by Cake I am an opera singer I stand on painted tape It tells me where I'm going And where to throw my cape I call my co-star's brother I call my co-star's name I play both good and evil parts I sing to Verdi's play And every single morning By ten a.m. I'm dressed My rehearsals last for hours and hours With diligence I have been blessed Some people they call me monster Some people they call me saint My talent feeds my darker side Yet no one will complain I am an opera singer I sing in foreign lands I've sung for kings in Europe And emperors in Japan And after each performance People stand around and wait Just to tell me that they love my voice Just to tell me that I'm great I am an opera singer I will sing when you're all dead I sing the mountains crumbling apart I sing what can't be said I am an opera singer I sing in foreign lands Most people seem to know my name Or at least know who I am!! "I wanna go to the Opera so I can stand around and wait Just to tell them that I love their voice & to tell them that they're great" =)
