*Run time is approximate*

Since her sensational success in La Traviata, the soprano Anna Netrebko, at the height of her popularity, returns regularly to the great festival hall of the Salzburg Festival. This time, Netrebko shines as Leonora in Giuseppe Verdi’s tragic opera Il Trovatore with Plácido Domingo as Count di Luna. The strong cast is complemented by Marie-Nicole Lemieux, who, as the gypsy Azucena, provides spine-chilling and dramatic moments. On the rostrum of the Vienna Philharmonic is none other than Daniele Gatti, who elicits cascades of sound from the orchestra. The critics have gone wild: “A triumph” writes the New York Times, while the Neue Zürcher Zeitung praises the production’s “truly divine sounds.”
