Jungle Jack Hanna, La Traviata February 16, 2008

Jack Hanna is a world-renowned wildlife expert. He is an American zoo keeper who is the Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. His nicknamed "Jungle Jack" is instantly recognizable by his khaki safari outfit, deep tan, Southern twang, pseudo-serious delivery and shaggy hair. He has become household name with a nationally syndicated television show and hundreds of appearances on the 'Tonight Show,' 'The Late Show with David Letterman,' 'Good Morning America' and 'Larry King Live.'

'La Traviata,' Verdi's superb creation reinvents the term grand opera each time it is performed. When Violetta Valery, Parisian courtesan, and Alfredo Gemont, a young man of aristocratic upbringing fall deeply in love, they are a doomed match.
