Even providence cannot
save them from the terrible fate inscribed in their blood!A revival of Verdi's
masterpiece, with its famous overture and grand human drama
A tragic masterpiece depicting
the two men and a woman as they are swept by a cruel and capricious fate towards
a blood-drenched conclusion. The highly realized overture is justly famous, and
often performed independently. Verdi's dramatic and beautiful score works with
the libretto to relate with eloquence a story that unfolds at a dizzying pace.
The production is under the direction of Emilio Sagi, artistic director of Teatro
Real in Madrid, while conductor Inoue Michiyoshi, known for his attention to the
details of the score, has elicited passionate vocal performances from a cast which
includes dramatic soprano Anna Shafajinskaya, world-class heldentenor Robert Dean
Smith, and noted baritone Christopher Robertson. The production is based on the
revised version first performed at La Scala in Milan [in 1869], subsequent to
the opera's debut at the Bolshoi Theatre in St. Petersburg.

Synopsis
Spain, in a time of civil war.
Leonora, daughter of the Marchese di Calatrava, attempts to elope with her lover,
Don Alvaro, but they are discovered by her father the Marchese, who will not consent
to their relationship. Don Alvaro throws his pistol to the ground to show he will
not resist, but it goes off, fatally wounding the Marchese, who dies cursing his
daughter. The couple flee, pursued by Leonora's brother Don Carlo, who has vowed
to avenge his father's death. Leonora enters a convent. Don Alvaro, whose flight
takes him to the front lines of the civil war, saves the life of an officer, and
the two pledge brotherhood, at first failing to recognize each other. But the
officer, who is Don Carlo, discovers Don Alvaro's true identity, and challenges
him to a duel, in which Don Carlo is mortally wounded. At this point Leonora appears,
but her brief moment of happiness at reunion with Don Alvaro is destroyed when
Don Carlo summons his last dying strength to run her through with his sword.
