Select the chosen event. Aida opened the first season of the Arena di Verona Opera Festival.
Love and passion characterize the weft and musics of Carmen, the most famous work of G.Bizet.
“Va pensiero sull’ali
d’orate” is one of the most famous aria in
the whole lyric panorama.
Nabucco is a lyric drama in 4 acts.
Music by Giuseppe Verdi and libretto by
Temistocle Solera.
It premièred on 9th March 1842 at “La
Scala” Theatre in Milan and it was at once
considered an opera of extraordinary value,
that represents a real turning-point in
the career of the young composer Verdi.
The great success of “Nabucco” is strictly
linked to the Italian Risorgimento period
and to its popular aria “Va’ pensiero
sull’ali dorate” (“Go, thought, on golden
wings”). In the third act the Jews,
oppressed by King Nabucco of Babylon, sing
it to feel nearer to the people in the
Lombardo-Veneto region, who are submitted
under the Austrian domination: “Va’
pensiero” becomes soon the song of all
oppressed people in Italy.
Rigoletto is a drama in three actions of Verdi on booklet of Francisco Maria Piave.
Opera in 5 acts - Music by C. Gounod - booklet by J. Barbier e M. Carrè, from Shakespeare.

Aida
Aida is an opera in 4 acts. Music by Giuseppe Verdi, libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni and original draft by Auguste Mariette; this opera was then re-worked by Camille Du Locle with Verdi himself.
The story takes place in the Ancient Egypt and it premièred on 24th December 1871 at the Cairo Opera House, only more than one year later than the opening of the Suez Canal: the opera was in fact requested right for the celebration of this important event.
On 8th February 1872 Aida was performed at “La Scala” theatre in Milan obtaining such a great success as never before. The most important theatres both in Italy and in Europe asked for Aida performance: this was only the beginning of a very long series of different settings that consecrated Aida as one of Verdi’s well-known masterpieces among all his lyric works. In 1913 Aida opened the first season of the Arena di Verona Opera Festival and this can be considered the beginning of a long successful story.

Carmen
Carmen is a lyric opera in four actions of Georges Bizet, on booklet of Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy drawn from the novel of Prosper Mérimée (1845). The weft is set in Spain. Josè is a soldier ingenuous, responsible and full of sense of the duty, until he falls in the spiral of seduction and cruelty of the beautiful Carmen,a mysterious woman who represents the contrary of the creative femininity. Josè would want to lead back Carmen to a social acceptable figure, even rendering her a mother, but this idea is simply ridicule for the wild and bloody-thirsty Carmen.

Tosca
Tosca is a drama in 3 acts; libretto by L.Illica and G.Giacosa and music by G.Puccini.
This can be considered as Puccini’s most intense drama, rich in coups de théâtre and expedients that evoke a general atmosphere of tension in the spectators.
The motive develops quickly and it is characterised by short and sharp effects, often given by dissonant chords, like i.e. the one produced by a chord sequence on Scarpia’s theme that opens this opera. Puccini presents intentionally the drama of a persecuted love developing during an historical background of crimes and blood events.

Rigoletto
Intense drama of passion, betrayal, filial love and revenge, Rigoletto is not only a perfect combination of melody and dramatic power, but it places in evidence the social tensions and the subordinate feminine condition in a reality in which the nineteenth-century public could easily find himself. From the musical point of view we have, since the prelude, constant repeating itself of the Topic of the malediction.
