Salzburg Festival: Don Carlo (NR)
synopsis
Premiered in Paris on 11 March 1867, Don Carlo was to be the longest and most ambitious of all of Verdi's operas. For the 2013 Salzburg Festival, Peter Stein and Antonio Pappano are working with the original version of the opera - albeit in Italian and minus the ballet. However, it will include some passages cut from the original 1867 performance, including the prelude to Act One with the chorus of woodcutters and their families, which highlights the dire plight of the French people resulting from the winter and the war with Spain.
