Un Ballo in Maschera
Antonio Pappano, music director of the Royal
Opera House, Covent Garden, conducts this new production of Verdi's "most operatic of operas", with the three principals making their debuts in these roles. Marcelo Alvarez is the governor
Riccardo, with Thomas Hampson as his devoted political ally and friend Renato. The trouble is, they both love the same woman - Renato's wife Amelia, sung by Karita Mattila - and when Renato turns assassin out of jealousy, the fortune-teller Ulrica's prophecy comes true and Riccardo is murdered at a masked ball. Presented by Stephanie Hughes.
Royal Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Antonio Pappano
