This lyric season will be closed by a second tribute to Giuseppe Verdi. The Fura dels Baus returns to the Teatro Colón to co-produce a rescued version of the original masked ball, destroyed by the censorship of its time due to its plot’s political realism. A renewed production commits to giving new birth to the true story known for having motivated the Italian genius to create one of his most committed, most vibrant music compositions.
