More Palace Opera & Ballet Season
International superstars Vitaliy Bilyy, Anita Rachvelishvili, Lianna Haroutounian and Gregory Kunde lead a superb cast of world-class singers in the first revival of David Bösch’s new production of Verdi's classic Romantic opera.
This atmospheric and poetic staging sets the story against the backdrop of war. Fire and snow in the landscape echo the cruelty and love of the story: soldiers and gypsies clash, a mother reveals a terrible secret and two men are engaged in a deadly fight for one woman. Verdi’s exceptionally fine music captures the shifting emotions of the drama through impassioned love duets, fiery solos and stirring choruses. Richard Farnes conducts.
