Guanqun Yu sings Elvira in "Ernani" at the Bregenz Festival

Already six years before Rigoletto, Giuseppe Verdi set to music a gripping drama about love and revenge - and thus achieved his final breakthrough as a composer: Ernani. This opera is also based on a play by the French author Victor Hugo, whose text inspired Verdi's unique style of poignant arias, rousing choruses and effective scenes. (Source: Bregenz Festival)
