This Verdi’s masterpiece was written during the year 1849 in Paris and Busseto, completed in Naples, and first performed there on December 8, 1849 at the city’s Teatro San Carlo. Schiller’s ”Kabale und Liebe”, on which Verdi’s Opera is based, tells the story of the calamitous love of the nobleman Ferdinand for the musician’s daughter Luisa Miller, who falls victim to a terrible court intrigue that ultimately drives both to their deaths. 

After its successful premiere on December 8, 1849 at the Naple’s Teatro San Carlo, the work soon established itself and has remained a fixed part of the international opera repertoire to this day. 

In this concert performance at Munichs Prinzregententheater on September 24, 2017, Ivan Repuic made his debut as Chief Conductor of the Münchner Rundfunkorchester and Marina Rebeka made her role debut as Luisa Miller.
