Tenor Marcello Giordani takes on the role of her fugitive lover, and all-star Verdians Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Ferruccio Furlanetto round out the cast as Don Carlo and Don de Silva, Ernani's rivals for Elvira's hand.The High Definition transmission of Ernani will be presented at AMC Esquire 7, 6706 Clayton Road; St. Louis Mills 18; 5555 Saint Louis Mills Boulevard; AMC Chesterfield 14, 3000 Chesterfield Mall; O'Fallon 14, 900 Caledonia Drive; and The Hett, McKendree College, 701 College Road, Lebanon, IL.
