TheatreHD Premiere: Verdi's Opera 'I Due Foscari' from La Scala Stage

A unique opportunity to see Verdi's early masterpiece in the legendary La Scala production without leaving Minsk. On the big screen of the Central Cinema, the tragic story of Doge Francesco Foscaro and his son Jacopo comes to life — a drama about the choice between love for one's son and duty to the state, where revenge triumphs over justice. You will witness an operatic triumph of global proportions: Plácido Domingo as the Doge tears your heart apart, Francesco Meli sings Jacopo's aria that brings inevitable tears, and maestro Michele Mariotti — the world's leading Verdi specialist of our time — conducts the orchestra in a way that makes beautiful Venice seem eerie and grim. Alvis Hermanis's direction and Alla Sigalova's choreography transform the opera into a visual poetic film. Come experience catharsis and hear how true bel canto sounds in the finest performance of our era.
