French jazz stood still and President Macron sent condolences when the violinist Didier Lockwood died suddenly in February. The opera world shared its sorrow’s with Didier’s wife, Patricia Petibon.

This weekend, Patricia bounced back in her first Traviata, staged in Malmo, Sweden.

Congratulations to Patricia Petibon, who made her stunning debut as Violetta Valérie in an amazing production of Olivier Py at the #Malmö Opera! . . . #patriciapetibon #olivierpy #latraviata #violetta #malmöopera #standingovations #triumph
