  Recorded live at the Teatro La Fenice Venice 18 November 2004.When the legendary Venetian Teatro La Fenice which had been completely destroyed by fire in 1996 rose like a phoenix from the ashes again its rebirth was celebrated with Verdi's La Traviata an opera that had seen its premiere more than 150 years earlier in the same theatre. Led by star conductor Lorin Maazel a cast of brilliant singer-actors brought an exact replica of the March 1853 version to the stage giving audiences the opportunity to experience the opera as the world first heard at its premier in Venice. The original score had been found in the archives of La Fenice so that La Traviata could relive its premiere without any revisions. The great Violetta-Germont duet the second act finale and the opera's last two numbers resounded through the theatre in just the way that Verdi initially intended.With Italian soprano Patrizia Ciofi in the title role German-Italian tenor Roberto Sacca as her lover and Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky as his father the live recording features highly eminent singers of the Italian repertoire and stars who are at home in opera houses throughout the world.

  Fondly called La Fenice - evoking the myth of the Phoenix bird that periodically burns itself in order to rise again from the ashes as a symbol of eternal renewal - the Venetian theatre has burned to the ground twice since it opened in 1792. Following the first fire, during the night of 12/13 December 1836 it was rebuilt according to the original plans by Tommaso and Giambattista Meduna on a new site, the Campo San Fantin, where it has now been rebuilt following the second fire on the night of 29/30 January 1996, which reduced the theatre to its bare foundations.When the legendary Phoenix finally rose from the ashes again in 2003, its rebirth was celebrated with a series of concerts. Riccardo Muti, musical director of Italy's other world-famous opera house - La Scala, conducted the official inaugural gala concert on December 14th. In the presence of the Italian President, Carlo Ciampi, Muti conducted La Fenice's choir and orchestra together with some of the best Italian singers in an unusual but truly Venetian programme.
