A Masked Ball
Un ballo in maschera
Giuseppe Verdi
- “In decorous rows and wearing elaborate masks, fine men and ladies of Boston high society danced across the stage in last Saturday’s performance, led by the gifted conductor Valery Ryvkin. Richard Crawley, as Riccardo, commanded the stage with ease and sang with compelling rapture. Fabiana Bravo, as Amelia, returned his love with such beauty that the audience immediately understood [their relationship]. Every element of this production came together; the cast, the set, the conducting, the music, and the direction by the artful Yefim Maizel.”
