There are some operas that are received coolly by the audience at their première and only slow struggle to win acclaim. Il trovatore did not share this fate: the première at the Teatro Apollo in Rome on 19 January 1853, was the beginning of the legendary work's triumphal procession that has continued to this day. Hovhannes Ayvazyan, the Armenian tenor appearing as Manrico, has achieved significant success in front of audiences in Vienna, Toronto, Geneva and Dublin and has portrayed the protagonist of Il trovatore before. Italian soprano Selene Zanetti, who will be singing the role of Leonora, is at home in the styles of a diverse range of opera composers, from Mozart, Verdi and Smetena to Menotti, Puccini and Wolf-Ferrari. Taking the stage as Count di Luna is the excellent Romanian baritone Serban Vasile, who sang the title role in the Riccardo Muti Italian Opera Academy's production of Nabucco in December 2021. Ever since her victory at the 1986 Pavarotti Singing Competition, Ildikó Komlósi has been a star of the international opera world. István Gáspár, Gabriella Szalai-Illés, László Kálmán, Dániel Kelemen and Sándor Boros are artists of the Hungarian National Choir who this time will be demonstrating their skills as soloists in dramatic roles. Thanks to his passionate and highly expressive performances, Carlo Montanaro has become a favorite of the Budapest audience in recent years.
