When Sophia meets opera, something ends and something begins.

Film director Sofia Coppola will make her opera directorial debut. Honestly, I think many people felt a sense of excitement when they heard the first news. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of the combination of Sofia and opera is `` The Godfather Part III,' ' which was directed by my father, Francis Ford Coppola, 27 years ago. In the film, Sophia plays the role of Mary, the beloved daughter of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino). Coincidentally, the Corleone family celebrates their eldest son's debut as an opera singer by going to see Cavalleria Rusticana, but that place turns out to be their fateful place. As a result, a single bullet takes Mary's life, and with an aria of deep sadness, the family history trilogy comes to a solemn end.

Perhaps at this moment, something died inside Sophia, and something gave birth. Perhaps influenced by the negative reviews about her acting, she took this opportunity to completely break away from acting. On the other hand, it can also be interpreted as essentially opening the door to another new path, namely becoming a film director. The rapid progress that followed was astounding. She continues to present audiences with a delicate atmosphere that is difficult to describe in words, including ` `Lost in Translation, '' which won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and `` Somewhere ,'' which won the top prize at the Venice International Film Festival. , he became a unique "expressive artist" that could never be imitated by others.

The fact that she is making her debut as an opera director is all the more surprising. In the film ``La Traviata,'' which depicts this scene, you can see the entire family, including father Coppola, gathering in the center of the audience to watch their daughter's debut. Which way will fate turn? Or is something dying inside her, and something is about to be born?

In conclusion, it can be said that all of these concerns were unfounded. Tickets for all 15 performances of Sofia Coppola's first production of ``La Traviata'' at the Roman Opera House are sold out. Not only the musicality that colors the whole story, but also the content, which weaves a gorgeous stage and dynamic and delicate emotions, is also wonderful, and her debut was greeted with great praise. She successfully overcame the dilemma of ``Sofia and the Opera'' with her own hands and powerfully pushed open a new door in her life.
