In the Italian version of Verdi's French grand opéra, Emma Dante updates the action from 1282 to the organised crime of the Sicilian Mafia. 

Conductor Tomáš Hanus leads a great cast in a stunningly beautiful production of Dvořák’s masterpiece directed by Emma Dante.

Despite the setting in a condo, Dante’s staging is basically traditional, to the point of even respecting the original story's 1830s fashions.
