Description:
*Gustavo III*—a revival of *The Masked Ball* based on the original libretto! King Gustavo III is bound by a deep friendship with his loyal vassal, Count Ankarström, but harbors an illicit passion for the count’s beautiful wife, Amelia. When, by chance, the king overhears Amelia confessing at 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 and then joins forces with dissidents plotting to assassinate the King, setting his sights on the King’s life at the masquerade ball to be held at the palace… Verdi’s concept for an opera based on the assassination of a real-life Swedish king underwent various twists and turns due to strict censorship by the authorities, eventually 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 features a performance of *Gustavo III* based on a comparative-critical edition of the 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*. In this recording, the resonant, beautiful voice of Piero Pretti, singing the title role, forms a splendid contrast with the rich, powerful singing of Amartushin Enkbat as the Count. Among the female cast, Anna Pilozzi as Amelia dramatically sings of the torments of love, veteran Anna Maria Kiuri as Ulrica creates an eerie atmosphere, and rising star Giuliana Gianfardoni as Oscar delivers a charming performance. Roberto Abbado’s refined conducting, uniting 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 moving toward full maturity—leaving nothing to be desired.
