Opera San José is set to present Verdi’s “Il Trovatore” in a classic rendition of the work.

The production by Brad Dalton will be conducted by Joseph Marcheso, Opera San José’s Music Director and Principal Conductor.

The cast is set to include Kerriann Otaño as Leonora, Mackenzie Gotcher and Alexander Boyer sharing the title role of Manrico, SeungHyeon Baek and Eugene Brancoveanu alternating as Count di Luna, and Daryl Freedman as Azucena.
