I imagine it would be! one of the reasons Traviata caused such a scandal in its day was because it was contemporary.

By placing the opera stories in the present day, the audience were much more involved with the characters, and couldn’t place the emotions into a far-off mythical time.

I think it is totally cool to put La Traviata in a contemporary setting as long as they don’t mess with the music.

The music is outstanding.

Good evening, ML!

I've seen a few of Shakespeare's plays set in in modern times. I'm not all enthusiastic about it myself, but chacon a son gout!

I viewed the blood fest "Titus Andronicus" in my senior year of high school. It was set in the 20th Century with the opposing parties being garbed as German Nazis and Italian Fascisti. Very intense and disturbing.
