Remarkable for its bold characterization, color, atmosphere, and a plot unsurpassed for superb drama, this memorable opera, which first premiered in 1851, tells the story of a despised hunchback and his beloved daughter—the first instance in which the figure of the tragic jester was used in Italian opera. A splendid opportunity for music lovers to savor and study one of Verdi's greatest achievements.
