Opera in Cinema: I VESPRI SICILIANI

WHEN: Sunday, June 3, 2:30pm & Tuesday, June 5, 6pm

Politics become personal in Verdi’s I Vespri Siciliani (“The Sicilian Vespers”). Based on the true story of a 13th century Sicilian rebellion against occupying French forces, this grand opera weaves military intrigue with a tale of doomed love between a French Dutchess and a Sicilian rebel. Verdi’s meaty score is sung with full-throated intensity by Maria Agresti, Gregory Kunde and Franco Vassallo, with Gianandrea Noseda at the podium. From the Teatro Regio di Torino. Running Time: 186 minutes.  Italian with English subtitles. Two 10-minute intermissions.
