Verdi - Ernani
Synopsis
Ernani is a gripping drama about love and revenge by Giuseppe Verdi. Written in his unique style it brims with poignant arias, rousing choruses and enthralling ensemble scenes. The rebel leader Ernani recognises his father's murderer in the Spanish King Carlo and seeks revenge on him. Both men love Elvira â as does old Silva whom she is to be married to ... Director Lotte de Beer and her set and costume designer Christof Hetzer devote themselves to the fictional plot which bears references to the 16th century. They demonstrate their rich scenic imagination in this production, conducted by Enrique Mazzola who âprovides musically magic moments at the stand of the Wiener Symphonikerâ (Schwäbische Zeitung). âGreat singers, fiery music and an action-packed stagingâ (Allgäuer Zeitung). âA mixture of Tarantinoâs âKill Billâ and Monty Pythonâs âThe Knights of the Coconutââ (Deutschlandfunk).
