There had better be some decent singers involved in these mouthwatering projects!

Il Paria will have: Albina Shagimuratova, René Barbera, Misha Kiria, Marko Mimica, Kathryn Rudge and Thomas Atkins.
Guido et Ginevra will have (wait for it...):  Michael Spyres.

No other singers mentioned in the announcement (which is here in full).

I've never heard of the any of the cast of Il Paria - let's hope they're up to the job. But Spyres in Guido et Ginevra is a great start.
