Ernani Tickets
Ernani Opera Tickets
Enjoy Giuseppe Verdi’s penultimately popular opera with Ernani tickets via TicketSmarter. Giuseppe Verdi was the composer of Ernani while Francesco Maria Piave was the librettist, or lyricist. Ernani is based on Victor Hugo’s play Hernani from 1830. Ernani had its debut in 1844, and it was very well received at the time. It was so popular that it was considered Verdi’s most popular opera until 1853 when Verdi created Il trovatore. Ernani was so popular that it even became the first opera in the world to ever be fully recorded in 1904.
An opera classic from one of the greats awaits anyone with Ernani tickets. Verdi created Ernani because he was commissioned by the Teatro La Fenice from Venice. At first, the librettist Piave created the lyrics for the opera, but Verdi did not like Piave’s first poem. Verdi ultimately fell in love with the idea to use Hugo’s play Hernani. The play dealt with honor and love, and Verdi thought it was the first story for a grand opera. The main character Ernani who commands a group of bands must save his lover from marrying the wrong man. Honor gets in the way of their love story, and Verdi and Piave do an excellent job of creating a powerful opera that has stood the test of time.
