“Spain, 16th century. State and church are fighting a relentless, destructive struggle to gain dominion over the people. Every rebellion, every attempt to establish a humane social order is stifled in its germ. The ideals of humanism are doomed to death, and its representatives perform at the bonfire of the Inquisition. The greatest victim is the king's son, Prince Don Carlos. He is the one who dares to love, to dream, to act for the freedom of the oppressed people, to oppose the state and the church, shaking their system of power, ”writes Frank Hilbrich, the director of the lecture. “Verdi Schiller Don Carloshe paints this painful recognition of his play with grandiose music. There is no other composer besides him for whom individual freedom would have been so important. With his opera he paints a frightening picture of human civilization. ” Verdi poured the original Schiller drama, almost every line of which is influenced by socio-political thoughts, into music with an emphasis on individual emotions and spiritual vibrations. The title role of Frank Hilbrich's new production (set designer: Volker Thiele, costume designer: Gabriele Rupprecht) is played by the world-famous tenor Gaston Rivero. Erika (Princess Eboli), András Palerdi (Chief Inquisitor) and Géza Gábor (A Monk) can be seen. Orchestra and Choir of the Hungarian State Opera House (director:

“16th-century Spain. State and church are engaged in a ruthless struggle for dominance over the people. The greatest victim in all of this is none other than the king's son, Prince Don Carlo. He is the one who dares to love, to step up for the freedom of the oppressed people and to oppose both the church and the state, shaking up their system of power… Verdi is the only composer, bar none, for whom individual freedom could have become so important. With this opera, they paints a frightening picture of human civilization. ” So says Frank Hilbrich, director of Don Carlo. “Verdi uses grandiose music to portray this painful realization made so apparent by Schiller's Don Carlo. Verdi is the only composer, bar none, for whom individual freedom could have become so important. With this opera, they paints a frightening picture of human civilization. ” Verdi put Schiller's drama, saturated to the brink with social and political thought, to music by emphasizing individual emotions and spiritual resonance. The title role of Frank Hilbrich's new production (set designer: Volker Thiele, costume designer: Gabriele Rupprecht) is performed by international tenor Gaston Rivero. Further roles are sung by Gábor Bretz (Philip II), Csaba Szegedi (Marquis of Posa), Zsuzsanna Ádám (Elisabeth of Valois), Erika Gál (Princess Eboli), András Palerdi (Grand Inquisitor) and Géza Gábor (A monk).
