This masterpiece composed by Giuseppe VERDI in his later years is a grand historical drama set to dignified music, portraying the forbidden love between the prince Don Carlo and Elisabetta and the rivalry between Carlo and his father, King Filippo II. In doing so, it explores the themes of jealousy, betrayal and friendship. The opera brims with famous arias, including "Nel Giardin del bello (Song of the Veil)" and "O don fatale" by La Principessa d'Eboli, the king's sorrowful aria "Ella giammai m'amò" and Elisabetta's "Tu che la vanità" The duets are both comradely, as between Carlo and Rodrigo, and dramatic, as between Elisabetta and the prince. The stage directed by Marco Arturo MARELLI uses symbolic crosses and enclosed spaces reminiscent of prison.

Conducting will be by maestro Paolo CARIGNANI, who has an enthusiastic following in Japan, while the title role is taken on by Giuseppe GIPALI, who established himself as a Verdian tenor much in demand. The talented line up also includes TSUMAYA Hidekazu in the role of Filippo II, TAKADA Tomohiro, who impressed audiences in Asters plays the lead role of Rodrigo, Elisabetta will be performed by KOBAYASHI Atsuko who recently enthralled the audience with the role of Sieglinde in R.WAGNER's Die Walküre, Anna Maria CHIURI, who has mesmerised the world with her dramatic voice and charisma in the role of La Principessa d'Eboli, and TSUMAYA Hidekazu, one of the most important bass singers in Japan, in the role of Filippo II.
