Lise Davidsen

Role Debut At Covent Garden

Lise is singing Elizabeth of Valois in Verdi’s Don Carlo for the first time this summer.

The production, at London’s Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, is directed by Nicholas Hytner, and, as the ROH website explains, it “evokes the passion, violence and religious repression of Renaissance Spain”. It will be conducted by Bertrand de Billy, someone who “is acutely alert to Verdi’s complex orchestral textures and brooding sonorities”, as a review in The Guardian observed.

Lise will sing with Brian Jagde as Don Carlos, Luca Micheletti as Rodrigo, and Yulia Matochkina making her house debut as Eboli.

There are six performances. The first night is Friday 30^th June at 5.30pm, followed by shows on Monday 3^rd July at 6pm, Thursday 6^th July at 6pm, Sunday 9^th July at 3.30pm, Wednesday 12^th July at 6pm and Saturday 15^th July at 6pm.
