Meanwhile Ignacio will sing “Depuis le jour” from “Louise” by Charpentier, “Signore ascolta” from “Turandot” by Puccini, and “Come in quest’ora bruna” from “Simon Boccanegra” by Verdi.
The two will then team up for duets from “Hamlet,” “Pagliacci,” and “Il Trovatore.”
The recital follows the success of Lisette Oropesa and Anita Rachvelishvili in February and March. The ABAO will present several other recitals and concerts in coming weeks. On April 24, ABAO On Stage will bring together eight great artists as homage to culture: Carmen Solís, Itziar de Unda, Silvia Tro Santafé, Celso Albelo, Sergio Escobar, Moisés Marín, Juan Jesús Rodríguez, and Simón Orfila.
