A masterpiece of Giuseppe Verdi's middIe period, Un BalIo ln Maschera is an opera with a history. When this opera was completed, the plot in which the Swedish King Gustav lll is assassinated by his faithful secretary at a masked baIl coincided in the reaI worId with an unsuccessful attempt on the Iife of NapoIeon lIl, with the resuIt that the opera failed to pass censorship. After many turns and twists, including changing the setting to Boston and replacing the Swedish monarch with the EngIish Governor Riccardo, the opera was finalIy premiered in Rome in 1859.
The AustraIian Opera presents the originaI Swedish version of this production. With a mixture of dark humor, passion, tragedy, and comedy, this is a gem of Verdi's operatic works in which peopIe's confIicting emotions are superbly expressed. |
