Il corsaro -  (The Corsair)

Evanston

United States

Verdi’s bombastic 1848 opera plunges us into the dashing world of seafaring pirates. While its popularity was overshadowed by his next operas: Rigoletto, Il Travatore, and La Traviata, this thrilling work is filled with Verdi’s characteristic melodies, rhythms, virtuosic vocal lines, choruses, and large orchestral score.  

Performed July 24, 2022 as part of the 2022 season of the Opera Festival of Chicago.
