After his acclaimed 1999 Otello, our very own José Cura will complement his magnetic singing with his talented skills as régisseur and scenographer in a title that he knows by heart. Renowned international and Argentine figures will accompany him, turning into a true lyric art celebration this tribute paid to the great Verdi on the occasion of the bicentennial of his birth.
