Description

New production.

As Enrico Caruso once said, casting this opera is quite simple: you just need the four best singers in the world. This quartet of soloists have indisputably earned that distinction. Debuting as Leonora is Lithuanian soprano Marina Rebeka, with Piotr Beczała at her side as her lover Manrico. His rival Count Luna is Quinn Kelsey, whom Zurich audiences will remember as Rigoletto. And celebrated Georgian mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili comes to Zurich to sing Azucena. Gianandrea Noseda takes his first bow as General Music Director with this production, which also marks the debut of the young British stage director Adele Thomas, who is predestined for this opera thanks to her affinity for sensual and theatrical imagery.
