Metropolitan Opera Announces New Cast Change for ‘Il Trovatore’
By Francisco SalazarThe Metropolitan Opera has announced a cast change for its Nov. 22 performance of “Il Trovatore.”
The company said, “For tonight’s performance of Verdi’s ‘Il Trovatore,’ the role of Manrico will be sung by Arturo Chacón-Cruz.” The Mexican tenor will replace the originally scheduled Michael Fabiano.
This performance will mark Chacón-Cruz’s first full performance at the Met following his surprise debut on Nov. 17 in which he performed the final act of “Il Trovatore.”
Chacón-Cruz is well known for his interpretation of Manrico having performed it at the San Francisco Opera and Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. He has performed at the Teatro Massimo di Palermo, Florida Grand Opera, Arena di Verona, and Teatro dell’Opera di Roma.
“Il Trovatore” also stars Angela Meade, Olesya Petrova, Ryan Speedo Green, and Igor Golovatenko. Daniele Callegari conducts.
