Michael Fabiano returns to the role of Manrico in Verdi’s passionate Il trovatore February 26—March 22 at London’s Royal Ballet & Opera. Fabiano debuted the role in the fall of 2024 at The Metropolitan Opera, where he was praised by Operawire for his “seminal display of incredible Verdi singing.” Soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen sings the faithful Leonora, alongside Aleksei Isaev as the jealous Count DiLuna and Agnieszka Rehlis as Manrico’s mother, Azucena, in Adele Thomas’ visually arresting production. Giacomo Sagripanti leads the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
