Verdi's epic five-act opera is back at the Royal Opera House. Les Vepres siciliennes was Verdi's first Opera written specifically for the Paris stage. It emulates the extravagance and opulence that is expected from the grande opera genre. Les Vepres siciliennes is truly thrilling with ambitious and impressive choruses, passionate duets and spell-bounding arias.
