Jeanne d'Arc by Verdi, dim. 20 oct. 2024, Du (2024/2024), Dirigé par Philipp M. Krenn,, Chef d'orchestre Daniela Musca, Malmö Opera, Malmö, Suède

When things looked dark for France, it was a young peasant girl who led the country's army to victory against the invading English. Her name was Joan of Arc. Verdi's opera about France's national heroine is a masterpiece with grand choral sections, passion, and drama. Giuseppe Verdi's seventh opera tells the story of Giovanna d'Arco, better known by her French name Joan of Arc. In a modern, different, and visually striking production, the tale of the unlikely hero who became a legend in her own lifetime is recounted. The title role is sung by the Polish soprano Ania Jeruc, who has enjoyed great success on Europe's stages in recent years. Playing her father is the well-known Fredrik Zetterström, familiar to the audience of Malmö, and the king is portrayed by the young Norwegian rising star Bror Magnus Tödenes.
