The Italian opera was originally written by Giuseppe Verdi in 1859. The text for the opera was based on Eugene Scribe’s libretto, which was created for Daniel Auber’s 1833 five-act opera entitled Gustave III, ou Le bal masque. The story centers around the assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden in 1792. The shooter shot the king as a result of a political conspiracy during a masked ball. After the ball, King Gustav III suffered from his wounds for 13 days before finally passing.
The opera’s premiere took place at the Teatro Apollo in Rome in 1859. Since then, it’s been featured in theaters all over the globe. One of the most notable productions was when it was first seen in New York in 1861 at the Academy of Music in Manhattan. There, President Abraham Lincoln attended one of the shows. Other noteworthy performances include those given at the old Brooklyn Academy of Music, Copenhagen, and at the Metropolitan Opera. When you buy Un Ballo in Maschera tickets, not only will you watch a brilliant, yet tragic, historical tale come to life, but you’ll also be surrounded by beautiful operatic vocals.
