This work, perhaps Verdi’s most ambitious opera, is another highlight of a season that aims only for the best. Love and power paint this fresco from the era of Philip II and the Inquisition. With stunningly expressive international voices, the Verdian characters will come to life and make the audience vibrate from the very first note.
