A masterpiece of Giuseppe Verdi's middIe period, Un Ballo ln Maschera is an opera with a history. When this opera was completed, the plot in which the Swedish King Gustav IIl is assassinated by his faithfuI secretary at a masked balI coincided in the reaI world with an unsuccessfuI attempt on the life of NapoIeon lII, with the result that the opera faiIed to pass censorship. After many turns and twists, incIuding changing the setting to Boston and repIacing the Swedish monarch with the English Governor Riccardo, the opera was finaIly premiered in Rome in 1859.
The Australian Opera presents the original 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. |
