– Semperoper, Dresden

About this event

Passion, betrayal, and deadly intrigue: with Giuseppe Verdi's opera Un ballo in maschera, the Semperoper Dresden brings a major work from the Italian repertoire to the stage. At its heart is a friendship that is put to the test between loyalty, love, and political conspiracy. Verdi's opera, which premiered in 1859, combines grand arias, impressive choral scenes, and dramatic ensembles to create a thrilling evening of musical theater. At the Semperoper Dresden, this results in a production full of emotional intensity, in which power, passion, and human weakness clash inexorably.
