Riccardo Chailly, who made a critically acclaimed start in his position as General Music Director of the Leipzig Opera with this staging, directs the Gewandhaus orchestra and a cast of experienced Verdi singers in a collaboration between the Zurich and Leipzig Operas. 

 "Un Ballo in Maschera" - a story of love, power and political murder in 19th century United States of America - is as exciting as a thriller, but with a passion that can only be experienced in a Verdi opera. The Italian film director Ermanno Olmi (The Legend of the Holy Drinker, The Tree of Wooden Clogs) staged it accordingly. The sculptor Arnaldo Pomodore who designed the fantastic colorful set and costumes created the amazing visual effects in this production.

Showtime: 7:00 p.m.

Tickets are $20 and are available online at www.jarvisconservatory.com
