The 3rd round of Un Ballo in Maschera is to be staged during NCPA Opera Festival 2017

Composed by Verdi, Un Ballo in Maschera is adapted based on the story of assassination for King Gustav III of Sweden in the 18th century, in which reveals Amelia's ambivalence between Ricardo and Renato. In NCPA’s version, the director, set designer and costume designer, Hugo de Ana shows the audience a stage which not only displays the charm of Italian traditional opera, but demonstrates the style and features of Stockholm in Sweden during the 18th century. With grand balls, the mysterious witch cave, the crystal ball, gorgeous clothes and colourful masks, Un Ballo in Maschera is like an Swedish “epic film” filled with historical and cultural atmosphere.
