In Boston, at the governor’s palace. The courtiers, divided into friends and foes—including Tom and Samuel—await the arrival of the governor, Count Riccardo di Warwick. He makes his entrance, and his page, Oscar, hands him the guest list for the masked ball scheduled for the following day. Among the guests is Amelia, whom he secretly loves, but who is the wife of his adviser and friend Renato. Renato arrives and believes he has guessed the cause of his master’s visible distress: a plot being hatched against his life. But Riccardo wishes to ignore this plot and its instigators; in vain does Renato implore him not to take the matter lightly... ‘Un ballo in maschera’ is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, with a libretto by Antonio Somma based on a story by Eugène Scribe. It premiered on 17 February 1859 at the Teatro Apollo in Rome. From the ‘Tutto Verdi’ box set of 27 Verdi operas. Recorded live at the Teatro Regio di Parma on 1, 5, 9, 13, 20 and 23 October 2011.
Directed by Tiziano Mancini, Pier Luigi Samaritani
