Description:
A video of *Gustavo III*, a revival of *The Masked Ball* based on the original script, has been released! [World Premiere] King Gustav III shares a deep friendship with his loyal vassal, Count Ankarström, but harbors an illicit love for the count’s beautiful wife, Amelia. When, by chance, the king overhears Amelia confessing in the prayer room of the witch Ulrika that she, too, is tormented by her love for him, he is overjoyed. Meanwhile, the Count, having discovered his wife’s infidelity, orders her to take her own life. He then joins forces with dissidents plotting the King’s assassination and sets his sights on the King’s life at a masked ball held at the palace… Verdi’s opera, inspired by the assassination of a real Swedish king, underwent various twists and turns due to strict censorship by the authorities before finally taking shape as *Un ballo in maschera*, with the setting moved to Boston, then a British colony. It premiered in Rome in 1859 to rave reviews. This recording is the world’s first video documentation of a production of *Gustavo III*, based on a comparative critical edition score (Ricordi Complete Works edition) in which musicologist Ilariana Leach applied the original libretto of *Gustavo III*—as originally conceived by Verdi—to *Un ballo in maschera*. Featuring a fresh, contemporary staging based on the original concept by the late master director Graham Vick, who passed away suddenly in 2021 (directed by Jacopo Spiretti) features a striking contrast between the expansive, beautiful voice of Piero Pretti, who sings the title role, and the rich, resonant singing of Amartukhshin Enkbat as the Count. Among the female cast, Anna Pilozzi as Amelia dramatically sings of her romantic woes; veteran Anna Maria Kiuri as Ulrica creates an eerie atmosphere; and rising star Giuliana Gianfardoni as Oscar delivers a charming vocal performance. Roberto Abbado’s refined conducting, bringing together this outstanding cast and orchestra, fully captures the essence of this Verdi masterpiece—a work that has assimilated the style of French grand opera and is now reaching the height of its maturity.
