ERNANI Closes This Weekend at Opera Ballet Vlaanderen
by BWW News Desk - January 20, 2023
The rarely performed Ernani is often referred to as Giuseppe Verdi's first masterpiece.

Verdi found the ideal raw material in Victor Hugo's play Hernani, ou l'Honneur Castillan, one of the key works of French Romanticism in which the emphasis came to lie on raw and realistic emotions.
