<ul><li>Don Carlo (The conflicted Prince): Alain Arvelo, tenor</li><li>Elisabeth of Valois (The tragic Queen): Vera Bowser, soprano</li><li>Princess Eboli (The scheming noblewoman): Paula Schaefgen, mezzo-soprano</li><li>Rodrigo (The loyal friend): Thomas Hall, baritone</li><li>King Philip II (The formidable monarch):&nbsp;Alvaro Ramírez, bass</li><li>The Grand Inquisitor (The terrifying zealot): Andrew Boisvert, bass</li></ul>
The opera will be sung in its original Italian with clear English supertitles projected above the stage, making the gripping story perfectly accessible to both lifelong opera lovers and first-time attendees.
