Ernani

FROM VERDI — A BLOOD-AND-THUNDER HISTORICAL DRAMA THAT ROILS WITH PASSION AND POLITICS AND RINGS WITH FAMOUS TUNES.

Gorgeous sets and costumes transport us to Renaissance Spain where Ernani — deposed nobleman and now bandit — must save his beloved Elvira from marriage to the aged Silva, a vengeful Spanish grandee. But that's not all: King Carlo — Ernani's arch enemy — covets Elvira, too. And so begins an epic battle that ends with death for a bridegroom on his wedding night!
