Politics become personal in Verdi’s “I Vespri Siciliani.” Based on the true story of a 13th-century Sicilian rebellion against occupying French forces, this grand opera weaves military intrigue with a tale of doomed love between a French Dutchess and a Sicilian rebel. Verdi’s meaty score is sung with full-throated intensity by Maria Agresti, Gregory Kunde, and Franco Vassallo, with Gianandrea Noseda at the podium. Tickets $14 for Parrish members, $17 for nonmembers.
