TATV exclusively interviewed Suat Arıkan, the director of İstanbul State Opera and Bale; Zdravko Lazarov, one of the orchestra conductors of Ernani; bass Zafer Erdaş; baritone Cengiz Sayın; and sopranos Evren Ekşioğlu and Burçin Savigne. Mr. Arıkan highlighted that “the Ernani is a difficult opera since it relies heavily on music and singing rather than acting. Therefore singers must have powerful voices. Fortunately, we have a wealth of very talented sopranos, tenors, baritones, and bass in this production.”

Turkish Art and Theater critic Hayati Asılyazıcı also pointed out “the deep rooted opera tradition in Turkey” since the Italian performers staged almost all of the Verdi’s Operas in Istanbul during the 19th century.
