Victor Hugo’s 1830 stage drama Hernani won overwhelming adoration, and a decade later Verdi’s attention was drawn to it as an operatic vehicle that would give him opportunities for full dramatic unity. Its subject is the nobleman-turned-brigand Ernani who loves Elvira, herself the object of two other men’s desires. Ernani’s success was immediate and it became Verdi’s most successful opera until he composed Il trovatore.
This production won critical acclaim, as did conductor James Conlon for his “superb support of the singers and the flexible elasticity he brought to his tempi” (operatraveller.com).
