DESCRIPTION

For those old enough to remember 25 years ago, it was a very different landscape for those with HIV and AIDS. At the time, little was known about AIDS, what caused it, how it was spread and if there would ever be an effective treatment for it. For many, particularly older gay men in LGBT meccas such as San Francisco and New York, it was considered the “gay cancer” and most often, it was regarded as a death sentence. It was in that environment that AIDS Walk Miami launched and it was not necessarily an environment that in those days brought together all aspects of the community to combat the scourge of a generation. There was misunderstanding. There was fear. But there was AIDS Walk Miami as well, for that first time, in those days when it was the condition that bore no name.

It’s 19th century Paris and high society is in an uproar because, in this story, the lady is the tramp! Violetta is a high prized courtesan who has the city’s wealthiest men at her feet. The tables turn when she falls in love with a penniless suitor and has to play sugar mama to support her young lover. Soon, her scandalous past catches up to her and threatens her new life.

See this fast-paced, heartbreaking story set to some of Verdi’s most beautiful music.
