Mel Cooper's Introduction to Verdi's 'La Traviata'

Mel Cooper, Formerly of Classic FM and OperaNow Magazine is one of the leading experts in the field of Opera. His approach is original and highly entertaining as well as deeply informative.
in his inimitable way he takes us through the opera scene by scene and essentially this is for those who want to know what it's all about before they take the plunge.
More that a bluffer's guide to opera, this allows those who are going, or thinking of going to the opera for the first time to really get a grasp of the story and setting, along with some background detail. Before you go and see La Traviata for the first time, you should watch this!
