The ironic story of a cruel court jester who becomes a victim of his own crimes, exposing the harsh challenges of the father-daughter relationship, constitutes a masterpiece that demonstrates Verdi’s amazing brilliance in characterization and musical composition.
This production was to have been premiered by Zeffirelli in the summer of 2019 but he died five days before the first performance. The period costumes recreated by designer Maurizio Millenotti, inspired by Franco Zeffirelli, enhance an energetic and dramatic production.
