'Un ballo in maschera'

This co-production of the Auditorio de Tenerife and the Teatro Regio di Parma Melodrama of Giuseppe Verdi's work is presented within the XXXVI Opera Season of the Teatre Principal de Palma. Un ballo in maschera is an opera in three acts with an Italian libretto by Antonio Somma, based on Eugène Scribe's libretto for the opera Gustave III o Le bal masqué.

The libretto used is that of a Swedish setting, as conceived by Giuseppe Verdi for the debut in Rome, before the papal censors imposed the transposition of the story in colonial Boston. Conspiracies, entanglements, romances and superstitions weave this opera by Verdi, premiered at the Teatro Apollo in Rome in 1859.
