Verdi: I Lombardi alla prima crociata

2009 · 144 min

A grand, solemn staged opera that sweeps you up in lavish choruses and soaring voices, asking patience and rewarding it with stirring spectacle.

Overview: I Lombardi alla prima crociata (The Lombards on the First Crusade) was Verdi’s fourth opera and received its first performance at La Scala, Milan, in February 1843. The grandiloquent subject matter is fleshed-out with broad-brushed musical and dramatic effects and lavish choral scenes created a correspondingly impressive impact. A great success in Milan, it spread to the rest of Europe within a matter of only a few years.
