The Story of Don Carlo
Don Carlo is the Italian version of Don Carlos, Verdi’s fourth opera on a theme by Friedrich Schiller.
Friedrich Schiller was inspired by the historical events in Spain in the mid-16th century, and Verdi was fascinated by the clash of an oppressive political system and the quest for individual freedom, and the parallel action of the father-son conflict. Don Carlos was first performed as a five-act opera in 1867 with moderate success. After a revision and reduction to four acts, Don Carlo was performed at La Scala in Milan in 1884.
