CitiOpera presents Verdi’s Il Trovatore

Following the outstanding success of Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos and Rossini’s La Cenerentola (Cinderella), CitiOpera returns with a stunning production of Verdi’s Il Trovatore.

This magnificent opera stars an outstanding international cast:

• Korean National Opera’s Principal Tenor Yoon Byung Kil as Manrico,
• 2015 Herald Sun Aria winner Fiona Jopson as Leonora,
• the outstanding Helen Hill as Azucena,
• emerging young talent Samuel Thomas-Holland as Count di Luna and
• Opera Australia’s Eddie Muliaumaseali’i as Ferrando.

Direct from Italy, Maestro Gaetano Colajanni leads CitiOpera’s celebrated Orchestra and Chorus.

Directed by Stella Axarlis AM, the production reflects the rich tradition of operatic passion, violence and love on stage.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles, this is not a production to be missed!
