Opera legend Plácido Domingo will guest star in the role of Vidal Hernando in a performance of the Florida Grand Opera’s production of Federico Moreno Torroba’s Luisa Fernanda, to be offered on November 15 at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County . The gala event will be a fundraising event for the company.

Luisa Fernanda, set during the republican-monarchist conflicts of 1868, centers on a woman who finds herself in a love triangle with Javier, a dashing young officer in the Queen’s army, and Vidal Hernando, a flirtatious and wealthy landowner.

The company will also feature Amparo Navarro as Luisa Fernanda and Antonio Gandía as Javier.
