Officially the most performed opera worldwide, La Traviata is Verdi's twisting love story that explores class, reputation, and devotion, with heartbreaking consequences. Transporting the story to the gilded salons of the roaring twenties, the production stars Corinne Winters as Violetta with Joshua Guererro as her ardent lover Alfredo.

Anne-Sophie Mutter has achieved much in her four-decade long music career, let alone being named of the greatest violin virtuosos of our time. She was awarded the esteemed Siemens Music Prize in 2008, was made an honorary fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in London at just 22-years old, and has received four Grammy awards for solo orchestral and chamber music performances.

Richard Strauss's fierce heroine Salome is presented by the San Diego Opera in this extraordinary production at Civic Theatre. Starring Marcy Stonikas (March 21 and 23) and Kirsten Chambers (March 22) as the titular Princess, Salome is a debauched carnival of high drama, knife-edge tension, and intensity that culminates in one of opera's most famous dances.
