The Waterfront
An unconditional operatic masterpiece that anticipated Verdi's famous triad (Rigoletto, Troubadour, La Traviata) and initiated the genre of lyrical drama, the fate of Stiffelio seems to us today extremely unfair: the world premiere was unsuccessful, the opera was tortured by censorship, and then forgotten for many years. The revival began only in the 1960s, and the opera has never been staged in our country. The Russian premiere of "Stiffelio" is undoubtedly the most important theatrical event of the season, opening to the public an unknown opera by the most famous author.
