Maestro Gianandrea Noseda and stage director David Sakvarelidze bring a magnificent semi-staged concert version of Verdi's Un ballo in maschera to the 2022 Verbier Festival! The festivities come to life with the talents of the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, the Oberwalliser Vokalensemble choir and a host of impeccable vocalists including Freddie De Tommaso, Angela Meade, Ludovic Tézier, and Ying Fang!

Un ballo in maschera, based on an opera by Auber and inspired by the events surrounding the assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden, is a rich and sumptuous work that depicts human passion and emotion with elegance and a touch of humor. Censored by the Bourbons in Naples and then by the pope in Rome, the final version of the libretto is the tale of a colonial governor in 17th-century Boston who falls in love with the wife of a friend. In this opus, a barbed blend of tragedy and comedy, love and politics, Verdi expands his stylistic and emotive palette with a greater variety of orchestral colors, a masterful use of winds, and fuller detail in the psychological expression of his characters.

After Simon Boccanegra, Giuseppe Verdi once again puts a conspiracy in music in Un ballo in maschera, adapted from the libretto for an opera by Daniel-François-Esprit Auber. The Neapolitan censorship hardly appreciates that the news item related - the murder of Gustav III of Sweden in 1792 - touches a sovereign, the future composer of La forza del destino will find more understanding souls on the side of Rome by anticipating the action of a century and transposing the plot from Stockholm to Boston. Amelia has a forbidden (and reciprocal) love for Riccardo, the friend of her husband Renato, and obtains a potion from Ulrica to curb her feelings. Ulrica also predicts Riccardo the death at the hands of a trusted man, who will ultimately be embodied by Renato ... Verdi delivers here a heady work with sophisticated writing,
