ABOUT THE SHOW
Verdi’s tragic love story of an Ethiopian princess captured and enslaved by the Egyptian military – and the Egyptian commander who loves her but must remain loyal to his country – has a one-night-only concert performance.
Michelle Johnson returns to BOSTON LYRIC OPERA to star in the title role (she was seen most recently as "Santuzza" in 2021’s "Cavalleria Rusticana.”
Tenor Diego Torre ("Cavaradossi" in BLO's 2010 “Tosca”) is the soldier "Radamès." Alice Chung ("Suzuki" in BLO's 2023 “Madama Butterfly”) is "Amneris," the Egyptian king’s daughter who professes unrequited love for Radamès.
David Angus conducts.
The cast also includes: Brian Major ("Emile" in 2022’s “Champion: An Opera in Jazz”) as "Amonasro," Stefan Egerstrom as "Il Re," Morris Robinson ("Sparafucile" in 2014’s “Rigoletto”) as "Ramfis," Chelsea Basler as the "High Priestess" and Fred C. VanNess, Jr. as the "Messenger."
