Giuseppe Verdi Un Ballo in Maschera

Jesus Lopez Cobos
compact disc - 2021

Initially composed for the 1857-58 Carnival Season at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, this opera about the murderer of Swedish King Gustav III was rejected by Neapolitan censors, and so were its revisions. The premiere performance of Un Ballo in Maschera took place only on 17 Feb 1859 at the Teatro Apollo in Rome, and also only after revisions enforced by the pontifical censors: first and foremost, the setting was transferred from Sweden to colonial North America, and not a king, but Riccardo, the governor of Boston, was to be the murder victim. Despite these changes, the melodrama was very well received by the audience, and up until today Un Ballo in Maschera is one of Verdi's most popular stage works. Like most modern performances, this recording is based on the Swedish version of the opera.
