Un ballo in maschera is a poignant love story between two complex, mature characters torn between their desires, loyalties, and the inevitable consequences of their choices. In this production, stage director Vincent Boussart delves deeply into the theme of masks, revealing a rich interplay of drama and comedy, human duplicity, lies, and truth.
“The two male protagonists, Piotr Beczala as Riccardo and Carlos Álvarez as Renato, were the outstanding performances for the evening.” (Bachtrack)
“A deeply moving play of masquerade and humanity.” (El País)
History
Verdi’s fascinating tale of the murder of a king had its world premiere at the Teatro Apollo in Rome in 1859, between the highly successful works of his middle period and the celebrated later masterpieces. David Alden, director of the new Met production, says: “Un Ballo in Maschera is one of Verdi’s greatest and most brilliant scores, with a variety of different colors. It alternates between the light and the intensely melodramatic. Verdi pulls it all together with unbelievable theatrical energy. Ballo is theatrical dynamite.”
