One of Verdi’s mightiest operas, Don Carlo, is January's Opera Club selection. This thrilling production was filmed live at the Salzburg Festival in 2013, and surpasses most others with its exemplary singing. Jonas Kaufmann and Anja Harteros are a dream team as the Spanish prince and his love, Elisabeth de Valois, with the rest of the cast living up to the stellar leads. Leading the Concert Association of the Vienna Staatsoper and the Vienna Philharmonic, Antonio Pappano presides over a nuanced performance that has plenty of Verdian sweep and grandeur, which works in counter point to Peter Stein’s spare production.
The opera runs 5 hours, including intermissions. All adults welcome.
