On November 14, 2019, Nicole Car will make her role debut as Elisabetta di Valois in Don Carlo at the Opéra National de Paris, in a production by Krzysztof Warlikowski and under the musical direction of Fabio Luisi, the first of a series of four performances running through November 23, 2019. She will share the stage with Michael Fabiano in the title role, René Pape as Filippo II, Anita Rachvelishvili as Principessa Eboli, Étienne Dupuis as Rodrigo di Posa and Vitalij Kowaljow as Il Grande Inquisitore.
