Envy and conspiracies, but also passion, jealousy, revenge and final forgiveness come together in Verdi's masterpiece, which aroused the wrath and prohibitions of the censors of the time to the point of forcing the composer and librettist to make changes to it: from the original Sweden to faraway Boston.

The great Polish tenor Piotr Beczala returns to the Liceu with one of his signature titles, accompanied by soprano Keri Alkema. Vincent Boussard's staging reinforces the dark and mysterious atmosphere surrounding the piece, with costumes by Christian Lacroix and the sober scenography of Vincent Lemaire, which allows us to concentrate our attention on the dramatic core of the score. The cast, directed by a true specialist like Renato Palumbo, also features a benchmark in Verdian singing: Dolora Zajick.
