With 18 performances limited to 30 audience members per performance, this will be one of the most intimate and unique performance experiences you’ve ever had! And with 6 different women portraying the lead character of Violetta, each performance will offer a singular portrayal of the ultimate tragic heroine.
Join us for opening night and closing night receptions, Sunday, October 17th and Sunday, October 24th.

When you arrive at the Eustis Estate there will be staff checking proof of vaccination. You can present the actual vaccine card OR a digital photo of the vaccine card as proof of vaccination. We thank you for your patience and understanding while we do this.
ALSO A NOTE ON ACCESSIBILITY: Audience members move to different locations inside and outside the first floor of the mansion during the performance. The production is committed to being as accessible as possible and the mansion has ramps into the hall and each location has seating.
