IL TROVATORE
Verdi’s masterwork Il trovatore begins when a gypsy woman is burnt at the stake for allegedly bewitching a child. Her daughter, Azucena, swears revenge. Azucena steals the child’s brother to throw him into the flames of her mother’s burning pyre, but instead accidentally throws in her own child. Horrified by her mistake, she raises the stolen child as her own. This haunting secret lays the groundwork for Verdi’s dramatic tragedy. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
