The original version of Verdi’s A Masked Ball – an opera about illicit love and backstabbing traitors at a European, royal court – so offended Italian censors that Verdi eventually picked up the whole story and moved it all the way to Boston! No matter where it takes place, the story is bolstered by one of Verdi’s heartfelt scores, and a love affair that ranks among the most passionate in any of his operas.
