Trubadur

New York soprano with Italian roots - Joanna Parisi will take part in one of Verdi's most famous operas. Her partners are the Bulgarians with an international career, Ivan Moyrov and Krum Galabov. The show is directed by Ursula Harner. In the title, there are all important ingredients for good theater: love, hate, politics, and intrigue. Verdi's music stays long in the mind of the viewer with its typical entrancing melodies and energetic choral scenes, appealing to revolutionary moods. The exquisite romance that portrays life in the Gypsy tabernacle also helps in the fame of Trubadur.
