In addition to the eight formidable instrumentalists of the Staatskapelle seven members of the state Opera chorus, and seven soloists themselves. Really close to just Anna Netrebko and her husband, the Tenor Yusif Eyvazov, as Elisabetta, Queen of Spain, and he as Don Carlo, the Infante in love with the uprisings at the end. could So, ironically, the Pair to be torn apart in the Opera.
