Ramey reunites with Luciano Pavarotti's favorite co-star, Italian soprano Annalisa Raspagliosi, who shared the stage with Mr. Ramey in his Kansas debut in Tosca. Uruguayan tenor Gaston Rivero, seen globally in Berlin's production of Il Trovatore with Anna Netrebko and Placido Domingo conducted by Daniel Barenboim, stars in the title role.
