Depicting the Love and Hatred
of Two Brothers Separated by Fate and the Pure Love of One Woman in Spain
Of Verdi's three masterpieces - Rigoletto, Il Trovatore and La Traviata - in his middle period, Il Trovatore is unsurpassed for prodigality of melody. In addition, contrasting melodies create dramatic excitement, making it one of the most opera-like of Verdi's works. A variegated, bold drama, including the fatal confrontation between Count di Luna and his younger brother Manrico over the beautiful lady Leonora, as well as the vengeance and remorse of the old gipsy woman Azucena, unfolds, giving the most luxurious feast to the ears and eyes.
Synopsis
Spain in the 15th century. Count di Luna is in love with the beautiful lady-in-waiting
Leonora, but she loves Manrico, who also loves her. One day, Manrico is
told by his mother Azucena the secret concerning his birth and begins to
wonder who he really is. He is then informed that Leonora, believing the
news that Manrico was killed in a battle, is about to enter a convent and
rushes away to prevent her. The Count, too, goes to the convent to try to
change her mind but she is rescued by Manrico and his followers, who have
rushed to the site. The angry Count captures Azucena to lure Manrico out.
Manrico, who has come to his mother's rescue, is captured and imprisoned
together with her. Leonora calls on the Count and earnestly begs him to
release Manrico,
offering herself in exchange, then kills herself by taking poison. Infuriated
by Leonora's trick, the Count immediately orders Manrico's execution. Azucena
shrieks, "He was your brother! You are avenged, O mother!" Then she falls
lifeless. The Count stands speechless. |
