A masterpiece of Verdi's maturity,
outstanding among his oeuvre for the richness of the human drama it unfolds. Revolving
around the suffering of a young prince when the woman he loves is given in marriage
to his father, the King of Spain, this is a grand historical drama depicting political,
religious, and filial conflict, love, jealousy, and friendship through the complex
interactions of its characters and a stately and dignified score. As it was commissioned
by the Paris Opera, the original version was in French, but the New National Theatre
will present the revised version (the four-act Italian version premiered at La
Scala in Milan), which has become the standard in the world of modern opera.

Synopsis
Elisabetta, fiancée of Don Carlo, heir to the Spanish throne, is instead joined in a political marriage to Don Carlo's father, Filippo II. The heartbroken Don Carlo is persuaded by his friend Rodrigo to take up the cause of independence for the people of Flanders suffering under Spanish tyranny, but is thrown in prison as a traitor. La Principessa d'Eboli, who is also in love with Don Carlo and thus harbors violent jealousy for Elisabetta, betrays Elisabetta to the King. Meanwhile, Don Carlo is freed, but must still bid farewell forever to Elisabetta. As he is doing so, the King discovers the couple and orders their arrest, but before this can happen, the ghost of Carlo V appears and draws Don Carlo with him into the tomb.
