Giuseppe Verdi s Ernani is a vibrant adaptation for the lyric stage of oneof the most fl amboyant dramas by the French poet. Both the composerand his librettist have combined Hugo s verbal eloquence with the rightmusical temperament. Perfect example of Grand opera with chorus,the magnifi cent Act III is above all the fi rst time Verdi draws the veryprecise contours of what is about to become a type of voice in itself:the Verdi-baritone. In Ernani he starts to focus as never before on thepsychological side of his characters. All his operas after Ernani willfollow the same path in his perpetual quest of the truth.
