Romanzo criminale

Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Theatre

Un ballo in maschera is one of Giuseppe Verdi's most elegant and restless dramas. It debuted in 1859, after a troubled path with censorship that moved its setting from the Swedish court to an imaginary Boston. But the heart of the story remains intact: a plot of love, friendship and destiny that races towards tragedy.
