Details
Based on the real-life assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden. Verdi's political thriller is set in a famous Swedish homeware store. Verdi's original Swedish version was considered too politically inflammatory, and so had to be re-written to give the characters Italian identities. OperaUpClose's production will combine the Italian characters with a distinctly Swedish flavour, served up in the unmistakably English setting of an out-of-town shopping centre on the North Circular Road.
