Un ballo in maschera
After his successful triad of Rigoletto , Il trovatore and La traviataGiuseppe Verdi chose historical material for his next opera: the assassination of the Swedish king Gustav III. at a masked ball in 1792. The historical event becomes the tragic love story between Gustavo and Amelia, the wife of his best friend. It ends with the king being killed by Amelia's jealous husband, Renato Anckarstroem, just as he has renounced forbidden love. Not only the circumstances of the murder at the eponymous masked ball, but also characters such as the fortune teller Ulrica or the page Oscar make the opera a dazzling piece in which the tragic basic conflict is repeatedly overlaid with absurd comedy and operetta-like lightness.

The British director David Pountney, known for his black humor, staged Un ballo in maschera as a deadly game within a game: Gustavo seems to have confused world politics with a gigantic theatrical performance, whereby he increasingly loses control of the direction. At the revival, the globally successful tenor Marcelo Álvarez will play the Swedish monarch. The opera house debut of the American soprano Sondra Radvanovsky as Amelia is also eagerly awaited, while Marie-Nicole Lemieux makes her debut in Zurich as Ulrica. General Music Director Fabio Luisi conducts the Philharmonia.

English

Un ballo in maschera
After his successful triad of Rigoletto , Il trovatore and La traviatawählte Giuseppe Verdi für seine nächste Oper einen historischen Stoff: die Ermordung des schwedischen Königs Gustav III. bei einem Maskenball 1792. Aus dem historischen Geschehen wird die tragische Liebesgeschichte zwischen Gustavo und Amelia, der Ehefrau seines besten Freundes. Sie endet damit, dass der König in dem Augenblick, da er der verbotenen Liebe abgeschworen hat, von Amelias eifersüchtigem Ehemann Renato Anckarstroem getötet wird. Nicht nur die Umstände des Mordes auf dem titelgebenden Maskenball, auch Figuren wie die Wahrsagerin Ulrica oder der Page Oscar machen die Oper zu einem schillernden Stück, in dem der tragische Grundkonflikt immer wieder von absurder Komik und operettenhafter Leichtigkeit überlagert wird.

Der für seinen schwarzen Humor bekannte britische Regisseur David Pountney inszenierte Un ballo in maschera als tödliches Spiel im Spiel: Gustavo scheint die Weltpolitik mit einer gigantischen Theateraufführung verwechselt zu haben, wobei ihm zunehmend die Regie entgleitet. Bei der Wiederaufnahme gibt der weltweit erfolgreiche Tenor Marcelo Álvarez den schwedischen Monarchen. Mit Spannung erwartet wird ausserdem das Opernhausdebüt der amerikanischen Sopranistin Sondra Radvanovsky als Amelia, während Marie-Nicole Lemieux in Zürich erstmals als Ulrica zu erleben ist. Generalmusikdirektor Fabio Luisi steht am Pult der Philharmonia.
