Verdi's power of fate in Klosterneuburg
Final spurt for the opera preparations The cast cast by Artistic Director Michael Garschall is also partly already well known in Klosterneuburg. Chamber singer Walter Fink can be seen as Donna Leonora's father, Marchese de Calatrava. The pair of lovers, afflicted by his curse and fate, is sung by Karina Flores (Donna Leonora) and Zurab Zurabishvili (Don Álvaro) - the latter being hailed as Canio / Pagliacci (2016) and Hoffmann / Hoffmanns Erzählungen (2019) in Klosterneuburg.
