Alexander Meier-Dörzenbach talks about the new production of Les Vêpres siciliennes. Find out more at http://www.roh.org.uk/siciliennes
 Music available at: http://www.smarturl.it/VivaldiVespri


Les Vêpres siciliennes is one of Verdi's lesser-known mature operas, but was vital to his development as a composer. It was created for the Paris Opéra in 1855, providing Verdi with an opportunity to embrace the elaborate style and traditions of French grand opera.

Stefan Herheim brings Verdi's tale of revenge, family relations and patriotism to Covent Garden for the first time. His imaginative production draws parallels between the opera and the opera house for which it was written, including a spectacular re-creation of the Paris Opéra itself. Musically, the work contains impressive choruses, passionate duets and some wonderful showpiece arias for the principal singers. Particular highlights include Procida's aria on returning to Sicily 'Et toi, Palerme', the Act IV duet 'De courroux et d'effroi' in which Hélène expresses her sympathy for Henri's dilemma and Hélène's brilliant Act V boléro, 'Merci, jeunes amis'.
