Live from Wexford Festival Opera 2025
Live from the National Opera House in Wexford Paul Herriott brings us the much anticipated opening night production of Verdi’s Le Trouvère. Two brothers, separated at birth under tragic circumstances, who unknowingly become enemies. Manrique sung by Eduardo Niave, has been raised by the gypsy, Azucena (sung by Kseniia Nikolaieva), as a troubadour, while the other, the Comte de Luna (sung by Giorgi Lomiseli), grows up as a nobleman. Their rivalry leads to war and love triangles where both turn out to be in love with the same woman, Leonore (sung by Lydia Grindatto). Tragically, the Comte’s determination leads him to order the execution of Manrique, before discovering his real identity. Marcus Bosch conducts the Wexford Festival Opera Orchestra and Chorus. Tonight’s opera will be broadcast across the European Broadcasting Union as part of the Euroradio Opera Season.
