| Lincoln Center: Metropolitan Opera House, New York City 10023, United States Friday 12-Mar-10 20:00 Metropolitan Opera Riccardo Muti, a champion of the Verdian tradition, makes his Met debut with one of the composer’s rousing early operas. This story of civilization’s encounter with barbarism is explored in a new production by director Pierre Audi. Some of the brightest lights in contemporary design, including Miuccia Prada and the architecture team of Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (the 2008 Beijing Olympics “Bird’s Nest” stadium), have created the costumes and scenery. “Our approach is to stay very close to the descriptions supported by Verdi: destruction, rubble, lagoon, forest, darkness—all in a very naturalistic way,” explain Herzog and de Meuron. Ildar Abdrazakov sings the title role, joined by Violeta Urmana, Ramón Vargas, and Carlos Alvarez.

| Opera House /Oopperan päänäyttämö, Helsinginkatu 58 PL 176, Helsinki 00250, Finland Friday 19-Mar-10 19:00 Finnish National Opera Governor Riccardo is in love with Amelia, the wife of Renato. This gives Renato an excellent reason to join a conspiracy against the Governor. At a fancy dress ball, Renato takes his vengeance. Verdi took as the subject for his opera the historical assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden, but censorship required the action and characters to be transposed to Boston. The last time that Un ballo in maschera was produced at the Finnish National Opera, the original libretto had been restored. This time, however, Vilppu Kiljunen’s production takes us to modern-day Boston and the world of high politics where even human emotions are a matter of public relations. Performed in Italian, with surtitles in Finnish and English.

| Lincoln Center: Metropolitan Opera House, New York City 10023, United States Saturday 27-Mar-10 20:00 Metropolitan Opera Riccardo Muti, a champion of the Verdian tradition, makes his Met debut with one of the composer’s rousing early operas. This story of civilization’s encounter with barbarism is explored in a new production by director Pierre Audi. Some of the brightest lights in contemporary design, including Miuccia Prada and the architecture team of Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (the 2008 Beijing Olympics “Bird’s Nest” stadium), have created the costumes and scenery. “Our approach is to stay very close to the descriptions supported by Verdi: destruction, rubble, lagoon, forest, darkness—all in a very naturalistic way,” explain Herzog and de Meuron. Ildar Abdrazakov sings the title role, joined by Violeta Urmana, Ramón Vargas, and Carlos Alvarez. Marco Armiliato, Conductor Ildar Abdrazakov, Bass: Attila Ramón Vargas, Tenor: Foresto Violeta Urmana, Soprano: Odabella Carlos Alvarez, Baritone: Ezio | ||

This gives Renato an excellent reason to join a conspiracy against the Governor. At a fancy dress ball, Renato takes his vengeance. Verdi took as the subject for his opera the historical assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden, but censorship required the action and characters to be transposed to Boston. The last time that Un ballo in maschera was produced at the Finnish National Opera, the original libretto had been restored. This time, however, Vilppu Kiljunen’s production takes us to modern-day Boston and the world of high politics where even human emotions are a matter of public relations. Performed in Italian, with surtitles in Finnish and English. Vilppu Kiljunen, Director Giorgio Casciarri, Tenor: Riccardo ( or Gustavo) Claire Rutter, Soprano: Amelia Dilber, Soprano: Oscar | ||

| Oper Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany Friday 9-Apr-10 19:30 Oper Frankfurt The sea! What magic it held for Verdi! In both Otello and Boccanegra this element is used to great effect. Civil war ruled 14th Century Genoa with the aristocracy and plebeians fighting for power. After Boccanegra, a corsair, is elected Doge he hopes that Fiesco will permit him to marry his dauchter Maria, with whom he already has a child. Fiesco agrees on condition that Boccanegra hand his daughter over to his care, but Boccanegra does not know where she is. Fiesco keeps Maria's death a secret from him. Amelia has grown up with the Grimaldo family. She loves Gabriele Adorno, an aristocrat. During a visit by Boccanegra to arrange a marriage between Amelia and Paolo Albani father and daughter recognise each other. The wedding is not going to take place and Paolo decides to take revenge. He arranges for Amelia to be kidnapped, blackmails Adorno into murdering the Doge, which Amelia prevents, and finally puts poison in the Doge's drinking water. Before Boccanegra dies he is reconciled with his enemy Fiesco and calls on Adorno to marry Amelia and rule after him. The chorus, in oratorio style in Christof Loy's brave production stand in silence for minutes on end at the start of the work, and leave the scene of the tragedy just as quietly at the end. Sung in Italian with German surtitles. Friedemann Layer, Conductor Željko Lučić, Baritone: Simon Boccanegra Thorsten Grümbel, Bass: Jacopo Fiesco Kosma Ranuer, Baritone: Paolo Albani Barbara Haveman, Soprano: Maria Boccanegra (Amelia Grimaldi) | ||
