DON CARLO
MUSIC BY GIUSEPPE VERDI
Libretto by Joseph Méry and Camille du Locle
Church vs State. Father vs Son. Love vs Duty.
At the time of Spain’s brutal Inquisition, the king of Spain marries the woman his son loves and sets into motion a tension-filled chain of events.
Music Director Nicola Luisotti conducts the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and Chorus in this magnificent tale of romantic triangles, political idealism and life-and-death devotion. Making his role debut as Don Carlo, the thrilling Michael Fabiano stars alongside the dynamic Mariusz Kwiecień as Rodrigo and powerful bass René Pape as King Philip. The extraordinary Verdi soprano Krassimira Stoyanova is Elisabetta, and Bulgarian mezzo soprano Nadia Krasteva is Princess Eboli, both in their Company debuts
