A Masked Ball

Approved

Within the framework of a merry masked ball, we as the audience are drawn into a drama where love, conscience and honesty are challenged by intriguers, conspirators and enemies.

We become part of a game of power where hatred, notions of honor and strong emotions become driving forces in a game where friends become enemies and enemies become co-conspirators - and where no one wins or loses.

In his usual way, Verdi has created a musical form that accommodates the contradictory drives in this game, while at the same time creating the musical party atmosphere we associate with a masked ball.

With an international cast, local soloists, Bergen Opera Choir and orchestra consisting of freelance musicians in Bergen, director Daniel Bohr in collaboration with set designer Dirk Hofacker and Opera Bergen will give life to Maskeballet.

English

Innenfor rammen av et lystig maskeball trekkes vi som publikum inn i et drama hvor kjærlighet, samvittighet og hederlighet utfordres av intriganter, konspiratører og fiender.

Vi blir delaktige i et maktspill hvor hat, æresbegreper og sterke emosjoner blir drivkrefter i et spill hvor venner blir fiender og fiender blir medsammensvorne – og hvor ingen vinner eller taper.

På sitt sedvanlige vis har Verdi skapt en musikalsk form som rommer de motsetningsfylte driftene i dette spillet, samtidig som han skaper den musikalske feststemningen vi forbinder med et maskeball.

Med et internasjonalt rollehold, lokale solister, Bergen Operakor og orkester bestående av frilans musikere i Bergen vil regissør Daniel Bohr i samspill med scenograf Dirk Hofacker og Opera Bergen gi liv til Maskeballet.
