Il Trovatore

Description

THIS IS THE STUFF OPERA IS MADE OF
Nobility, gypsies, murders, curses, kidnappings, a suicide, and a love triangle – all combined with a sensational Verdi score – no wonder this opera has been bringing audiences to their feet since its premiere. This opera is jam-packed with show stopping music including the legendary “Anvil Chorus.”

VOCAL POWERHOUSES EXPECTED
“Il Trovatore is the most vocally challenging piece in the Verdi canon,” notes Lyric Opera Artistic Director Ward Holmquist. “There are incredibly high expectations for all of the principal singers because each performs highly recognizable arias. They are required to deliver to the extremes of their vocal range and dynamic capabilities, and have to showcase the full color of their vocal expression. I am assembling the perfect mix of singers to compliment the Kauffman Center’s acoustics.”
