Un Ballo in Maschera

Giuseppe Verdi | Opera in Three Acts
Sung in Italian | 180 minutes

From the Teatro Regio di Torino
What’s more timeless (and inevitably tragic) than a tale of a politician in love with somebody else’s wife?
Giuseppe Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera tells just such a tale, in this beautiful production from the Teatro
Regio di Torino. Un ballo was banned by the Italian censors for several years before its debut, but once
the public first saw and heard this gem, it’s been a solid favorite ever since. Starring Gregory Kunde as the
amorous Riccardo, Gabriele Viviani as the jealous Renato, and Oksana Dyka as the faithful Amelia.
