Verdi's Ernani, based on a play by Victor Hugo, was an instant success, and as his most popular and most frequently performed opera, it became a cornerstone of his burgeoning reputation in the mid-18th century. Contemporary critics remarked that "people were already leaving the theatre singing [those] catchy tunes...Few scores have made a stronger, more powerful impression. Ernani is a dramatic and hauntingly memorable tale of rebellion and romance - the chilling presence of the Man in Black and the drama of a joyful marriage turning into intense tragedy remains one of Verdi's most compelling operatic creations.This production was the first staging at the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino since Musicale Fiorentino had been in place since 1965.
