When power, politics and love collide, the results can be fatal – as King Gustav III of Sweden so painfully experiences when he is shot by Captain Anckarström during a masked ball at the Royal Swedish Opera on 16 March 1792.  

Verdi’s opera is about this dramatic event in world history and the events leading up to it. If you enjoy Victorian dresses, grand chorus scenes and classic set design with a maritime theme, this performance is just for you! 

Verdi’s intense love duet 
The opera has been called ‘Verdi’s Tristan and Isolde’ and may very well include the most beautiful duet ever written by the Italian opera master – when Amelia and Gustav declare their love for one another.  

The stage is filled with the top echelon of soloists, with Marita Sølberg as Amelia, Matteo Lippi as King Gustav and Yngve Søberg as Captain Anckarström. The new music director of the Oslo Opera House, Edward Gardner, is in charge of the musical direction.

English

Når makt, politikk og kjærlighet kolliderer, kan resultatet være fatalt. Det fikk Kong Gustav III av Sverige smertelig erfare, da han 16. mars 1792 ble skutt av kaptein  Anckarström under en maskerade i Stockholmsoperaen.  

Verdis opera handler om denne dramatiske hendelsen i verdenshistorien, og hva som ledet opp til den. Liker du viktorianske kjoler, store korscener og klassisk scenografi med maritime scenebilder, er dette forestillingen for deg! 

Verdis store kjærlighetsduett 
Operaen har blitt kalt «Verdis Tristan og Isolde» og inneholder kanskje den vakreste duetten den italienske operamesteren skrev – der Amelia og Gustav erklærer sin kjærlighet til hverandre.  

På scenen står et topplag av solister, med Marita Sølberg som Amelia, Matteo Lippi som Kong Gustav og Yngve Søberg som Kaptein Anckarström. Operaens kommende musikksjef, Edward Gardner, har den musikalske ledelsen
