Giuseppe Verdi: Les vêpres siciliennes [741065] Released: 2011-10-25 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 232 mins Popularity: 0.1054 Vote Average: 0 Vote Count: 0 Overview: Les vêpres siciliennes, like the similarly epic Don Carlos, was conceived as a grand opéra for Paris and is driven by the tensions between private passions and public politics. Originally set during Sicily's 13th-century uprising against French rule, in Christof Loy's staging for the Netherlands Opera the action is transposed to a 1940s world of sudden violence and shadowy double-dealing. Imaginatively cast and idiomatically conducted, the performance presents this magnificent score in its entirety, including the allegorical ballet The Four Seasons.
