Viva Verdi!

After the enormous success of Nabucco in 1842, Verdi became a household name and a symbol of Italian unification almost overnight, with cries of ‘Viva Verdi!’ resounding throughout the land. Now the acclaimed company Opera Box has teamed up with Bristol Ensemble to present an unforgettable evening of wonderful music from this greatest of composers. The show will contain arias, duets, ensembles and orchestral pieces from his most popular works. Featuring a quintet of singers who have worked with the major opera houses in Britain, and an orchestra that regularly records for the BBC, this will be an unmissable feast for opera lovers in general, and for Verdi fans in particular.
