    Naples is full of divine surprises. Did you know, for example, that there is a fascinating underground city beneath the city? Here you’ll find squares and entire streets laid out by the Greeks and Romans, as well as a theater and an aqueduct. The catacombs are another emblematic must-see, as are the unexpected subway stations, some of the most beautiful in Europe. A few kilometers from Naples, Herculaneum is a sublime ancient city, left in an exceptional state of preservation. For archaeology enthusiasts, the National Museum’s collections of treasures from Herculaneum and Pompeii are a must.

     

    In the evening, we invite you to one of Verdi’s finest operas. Love and political conflict are on the program of Bal Masqué, staged here by Massimo Gasparon. In addition to Piero Pretti, the cast features two of the most legendary singers of our time: Anna Netrebko and Ludovic Tézier. The great conductor Pinchas Steinberg directs this dream performance.

    Bal masqué marks a major milestone in Verdi’s work. Premiered in 1859, the opera marks the move away from bel canto to a more dramatic style, which would culminate in later masterpieces. The work was inspired by a real event, the assassination of Sweden’s King Gustav III at a masked ball in 1791, which caused serious censorship problems. The action, already relocated to Boston, would be set in… Naples when the opera premiered in Paris in 1861. In Massimo Gasparon‘s beautiful staging (recreated from Pierluigi Samaritani’s), we find ourselves in the 18th century. Here, the singers have every opportunity to display their bewitching artistry, all the more so as the cast features an exceptional trio: Italian tenor (and star in his own country) Piero Pretti, the imperial Anna Netrebko and our national Ludovic Tézier, considered to be the finest Verdian singer of our time.
