Opera Mask Ball

The fortune teller Ulrika predicts an incredible death for the governor of Boston, Count Richard Warwick - he will be killed by a friend. The prophecy comes true when secretary Renato discovers the Count's secret passion for his wife Amelia. The masquerade ball is an excellent cover in which to carry out the revenge plan of the offended Renato. Personal motives of jealousy, mysterious premonitions, the struggle between love and duty are revealed in Giuseppe Verdi's opera Masquerade Ball, which was first performed in 1859 in Rome.

The production of the opera Masquerade Ball, created by the director Marina Bianchi, with scenography by Leila Fteit and costumes created by Lorena Marin, had its world premiere on January 12, 2019 at Teatro Regio in Parma. The production uses historical decorations created by set designer Giuseppe Carmignani for the 1913 production of the Masquerade Ball, which celebrated the centenary of Giuseppe Verdi.
