Ivan RepusicAbout
Verdi's early masterpiece had its world premiere on 11 February 1843 at Milan's Teatro alla Scala. This marked another great success for the young composer, and the work was again placed on the La Scala programme for the opening of the 1844/45 season. I Lombardi alla prima crociata (The Lombards on the First Crusade) quickly became popular in Europe, and in 1847 the opera was performed in New York for the first time. For performances at the Paris Opéra, Verdi reworked I Lombardi into a French “Grand Opéra”, with ballet music and several newly composed sections. This revised version was premiered under the title Jérusalem on 26 November 1847. Today, the opera is rarely heard or performed.
This concert performance (in the original Italian) at Munich's Prinzregententheater brought unanimous cheers from the audience. Ivan Repušić's commitment to Verdi’s early operas deserves to be held in high regard, and this performance of I Lombardi is also a truly theatrical Verdi work: vital, powerful, fiery, and very exciting.
