(Jan. 8) – Italian tenor Marco Berti will play the role of Manrico in Verdi’s “Il Trovatore,” that will be staged tomorrow at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The repeats are scheduled for January 12th, 16th, 19th and 24th. The opera will be conducted by Daniele Callegari and produced by David McVicar. After New Yotk, Berti will play in Berlin, Houston and Los Angeles. Last October, his new album entitled “My Home” has been released by MB Classics: his voice accompanied only by the harp of Floraleda Sacchi. Berti and Sacchi- two of the most important Italian artists of the world – in fact, have joined forces to record a fine art collection of Romance written by Ruggero Leoncavallo, Giacomo Puccini and Pietro Mascagni, for the first time made played by a duo o this kind.
