 "Il
Trovatore" uses the enthralling power of song to depict a story of terrifying
revenge and tragic love.
Both soloists and chorus particularly in this Opera are well worth a close listen.
Verdi's operas often feature heroes and heroines at the mercy of brutal fate as well as scenes of bloody murders, but the tale of "Il Trovatore" is particularly gruesome. On the other hand, the music for this opera is extremely beautiful and "Il Trovatore" ranks as one of Verdi's outstanding works for the luxurious feast for the ears that it offers. We look forward to enjoying the vocal performances that the energetic conductor Daniel Oren will draw out from the varied cast of singers.
Synopsis
Count di Luna is in love with Leonora, a lady-in-waiting to the queen, but she loves Manrico, a troubadour in disguise. Also, di Luna has been searching for his long-lost younger brother but to no avail. Azucena, an old gypsy woman and Manrico's mother, had many years ago kidnapped the count's younger brother because her mother was burnt at the stake by the count's father, and even while raising the younger brother has been looking for a chance to avenge her mother's death. Both Azucena and Manrico are eventually arrested by di Luna, but Leonora earnestly begs the count to save Manrico, offering herself in exchange. Although the count consents to her earnest request, Leonora kills herself by taking poison before he can satisfy his desire. In a fit of rage, di Luna orders Manrico's execution. Witnessing Manrico's death, Azucena shrieks, "He was your brother! You are avenged, O mother!" Then she falls lifeless.
