“Journalist, screenwriter and producer” Patricia Zohn gives San Francisco Opera’s Traviata a quick once-over over at Huffington Post. As may be expected, there’s little of depth in the post proper:

“Vi makes mincemeat out of the heart of Alfredo, the scion of a wealthy family — and then compounds the debris by actually falling in love with him.”

“Some years ago a production of ‘La Traviata’ came to Portland with Faye Dunaway in the lead role, but I never got a chance to see it.”
