Verdi's masterpiece on love and duty, performed by exceptional singers.

One of Verdi's unparalleled masterpieces, Don Carlo, is presented in a visually rich, new staging by one of Europe's most genre-redefining directors, the Italian Davide Livermore, alongside the designer team Giò Forma.

In the tragic Spanish love triangle involving Don Carlo, his beloved Elisabetha and Carlo's father Fillippo II, the young lovers' romance must be sacrificed to ensure peace through a forced marriage between Fillippo II and Elisabetha.

The tale of love, friendship, idealism, politics and duty unfolds in Verdi's work against the backdrop of the Inquisition's brutal and oppressive regime. Davide Livermore and the Giò Forma design team bring the story closer to our times by setting it against the persecution of political opponents under Franco's dictatorship. In this intense contemporary context, the past merges with a recognisable present in a spectacular set design, blending classic and expressionistic moods inspired by the Spanish painters Goya and Velázquez with lavish and cool aesthetics.

Verdi's dramatically intense music is interpreted by powerful voices: Stephen Milling makes a guest appearance as Fillippo. The American tenor Matthew White portrays the tormented Carlo, and the Royal Danish Opera's Reumert-awarded Verdi interpreter, Gisela Stille, is Carlo's lost love, Elisabetha.

Don Carlo is performed in Italian with Danish and English supertitles.

In collaboration with the Norwegian National Opera and the Finnish National Opera.

Recommended for ages 12 and up.

Verdis mesterværk om kærlighed og pligt med sangere i særklasse
 
Et af Verdis absolutte mesterværker Don Carlos kan opleves i en billedrig, ny iscenesættelse af en af Europas mest genrefornyende instruktører, italieneren Davide Livermore med designerteamet Giò Forma.

I det tragiske, spanske trekantsdrama mellem Don Carlos, hans elskede Elisabeth og Carlos’ far Kong Filip må de unges kærlighed ofres, fordi et tvangsægteskab mellem Kong Filip og Elisabeth skal sikre fred i landet.

Historien om kærlighed, venskab, idealisme, politik og pligt udspiller sig hos Verdi under inkvisitionens brutale og undertrykkende magtudøvelse. Davide Livermore og designerteamet Giò Forma har trukket handlingen tættere på vores tid ved at henlægge den til forfølgelsen af politiske modstandere under Francodiktaturet. I denne intense samtidskontekst smelter fortid sammen med en genkendelig nutid i en spektakulær scenografi, der kombinerer klassiske og ekspressionistiske stemninger hentet hos de spanske malere Goya og Velázquez med en overdådig og cool æstetik. 

Verdis højspændt dramatiske musik fortolkes af stærke stemmer: Stephen Milling gæstesynger i rollen som Filip. Den amerikanske tenor Matthew White er den frustrerede Carlos, og Operaens Reumertbelønnede Verdi-fortolker, Gisela Stille, er Carlos’ mistede elskede, Elisabeth.

Don Carlos synges på italiensk med danske og engelske overtekster.

I samarbejde med Den Norske Opera og Den Finske Nationalopera.

Anbefalet fra 12 år
