SUMMARY:Gioconda - National Opera House officially inaugurates the 2025/26 season
DESCRIPTION:The National Opera House officially inaugurates the 2025/26 season with the immensely popular Gioconda by Ponchielli\, in a new major international co-production with two of the world’s leading opera organizations: the Salzburg Easter Festival and the Royal Opera House in London. Conducted by Fabrizio Ventura and directed by the Artistic Director of Covent Garden\, Oliver Mears. The production is made possible with the support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) grant for the enhancement of the artistic extroversion of the National Opera House. \nLa Gioconda is considered one of the most prestigious grand operas in the repertoire\, not only because it deals with a dramatic story of a great unfulfilled love and self-sacrifice\, but also because it is rich in unique melodies\, famous arias\, and wonderful choral pieces. And of course\, because it includes one of the most famous ballets of all time\, the “Dance of the Hours\,” with a melody that we all know\, as it entered pop culture when it was used in Disney’s Fantasia in 1940. The world premiere of the work took place in 1876 at La Scala in Milan with tremendous success\, comparable to Verdi’s Aida and Otello\, which were written in the same decade. The libretto was written by Tobia Gorrio\, presumably an anagram and pseudonym of the poet and composer Arrigo Boito\, while the plot is based on Victor Hugo’s work Angelo\, Tyrant of Padua. \n  \n
