This three-act opera tells of Attila, king of the Huns, and his invasion of Italy in AD 425. Ignoring a starkly prophetic dream, Attila sets his sights on winning Rome. After eventually agreeing to an armistice, he is assassinated by the Italian Odabella during celebrations in the Hun camp. Verdi composed this dynamic, powerful opera early in his career. The latest version by the Shanghai Grand Theater, in cooperation with the Hungary Palace of Arts and Shanghai Opera House, made its successful première on April 28 at the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall. It will be the Shanghai Grand Theater’s opening performance on November 7 upon completion of refurbishments.
