Don Carlo and Elisabeth love each other, but she is forced to marry his father, King Philip, to secure peace in the country. In this version of Verdi's masterpiece, the story of love, friendship, idealism and duty unfolds under the oppressive yoke of the Franco dictatorship. 

The Norwegian National Opera’s Marita Sølberg and Yngve Søberg, who  received rave reviews the last time they interpreted Verdi in Othello, return to sing the roles of Princess Elisabeth and Rodrigo. They are joined by  Matteo Lippi as Don Carlos and Anthony Ciaramitaro and Brindley Sherratt as King Philip II.
