In North Carolina Opera's production of
Il Trovatore, Leonora was rising star American soprano Leah Crocetto. Opera Lively interviewed her before the show. It is fitting to give this interview more prominence in our Home page now, since Leah Crocetto has just been interviewed for the June 2012 issue of Opera News Magazine.
