One Man. One Masquerade. Two Weddings Giuseppe Verdi — King for a Day
A sparkling comedy of disguise, romance, and mistaken identity.
As the grand double wedding approaches, Mr King, the guest of honour, is called away on urgent business, and Count Belfiore is asked to impersonate his billionaire boss. With unexpected authority, he reshapes the couples, reunites true lovers, and rekindles his own romance before revealing who he really is.
Perboni’s stylish production has moved the action to a 1950’s USA location, adapting the Holy Trinity church to the interior of Count Kelbars home.
accompanied by chamber orchestra conducted by the music director, Lewis Gaston.
