Un ballo in maschera

"A Masked Ball" with insight into the art of deception.

Once upon a time at the end of the 17th century in Boston, USA. Admittedly, it is a wild story: A governor falls in love with the wrong woman, namely the wife of his best friend. Although a fortune teller predicts what will happen, the drama accelerates unabated. The friend mutates into a murderer, his wife is morally trapped and emotionally torn. Completely involuntarily, she becomes an accomplice in the murder of her lover at the bitter end. Verdi stages the intoxicating masked ball as an operatic thriller full of stunning arias. With the deadly finale, he sets the final highlight.
