Un ballo in maschera sets a tense love triangle against the background of an assassination plot, and features some of Verdi’s most exquisite choral writing.
Political intrigue, illicit love and a disturbing prophecy fuel Verdi’s spectacular 1859 opera, based on the true story of a Swedish king who was murdered during a masked ball.
Vivid choral writing – the closing hymn perhaps Verdi’s finest – and glittering dance music provide counterpoint to an intimate portrait of three people whose conflicted loyalties are tested in public and private.
