"La Traviata" Opera poster illustration by Joe Barsin


Joe Barsin illustrates original artwork to be used exclusively for one-of-a-kind opera merchandise. His blend of traditional and contemporary illustration brings you uniquely colorful design that you won't find anywhere else.

In this illustration, Joe Barsin visualizes this tragic but beautiful opera. Violetta Valéry, a famed Parisian courtesan, is slowly dying from tuberculosis but finds strength through her love with Alfredo. At first she plays hard to get with Alfredo but gives him a flower and tells him to return to her when it has wilted. As with all great opera tragedies, Violetta and Alfredo fall madly in love but another man, Baron Douphol, comes between them. Alas, the horrible misunderstanding is resolved just in time for the pale Violetta to die in Alfredo's arms.

Opera composed by Giuseppe Verdi.
