Double your bel canto pleasure when two of opera’s most celebrated sopranos make their Washington National Opera debuts in “Lucrezia Borgia.” Sondra Radvanovsky and Renee Fleming share the title role in John Pascoe’s new production of Gaetano Donizetti’s tragic tale of politics, poisoning and mistaken identities.

WNO Director Placido Domingo conducts the star-studded cast that also features Italian bass Ruggero Raimondi, Italian tenor Vittorio Grigolo and American mezzo-soprano Kate Aldrich.
