Performer: Andrii Ganchuk

The controversial artist stages his first opera in Rome, with strong musical performances under dynamic Ukrainian conductor Oksana Lyniv. 

Living in an environment influenced by French culture, Verdi saw the chance of breathing new life into the Italian opera through the grand-opéra. Les Vêpres siciliennes is his successful attempt.

In Emma Dante's staging we are viewing an allegory of death as painted in the medieval frescoes of Italian cemeteries.
