Opera Short #3: Inspired by ’Libiamo ne’ lieti calici’ from La traviata

The third animation in our 2014 Opera Shorts series is based on La traviata’s ’Libiamo ne’ lieti calici’. Created by Minhee Cho and Estelle Woo, students on the Illustration and Animation course at Kingston University, the animation was inspired by the moment when Alfredo falls in love with Violetta.
