Verdi

Lise Davidsen takes on arias from five of Verdi’s greatest operas: Macbeth, Un ballo in Maschera, La forza del destino, Don Carlo and Aida. Sequenced chronologically, the programme traces the peak of 19th-century Italian opera through Verdi’s emotional and dramatic evolution.

From the psychological intensity of Macbeth to the grandeur and tragedy of Aida, Davidsen brings vocal power and striking nuance to these five masterpieces, highlighting Verdi’s gift for drama, passion and human conflict.

As Mark Pullinger wrote of her Elisabetta in Verdi’s Don Carlos in 2023: “Her dark soprano is simply outstanding, the attack on the notes so clean, rock solid, seemingly effortless.”
