SUMMARY:Metropolitan Opera in HD: Verdi’s Il Trovatore
DESCRIPTION:Soprano Anna Netrebko’s dramatic and vocal skills are on full display in her next new role at the Met—Leonora\, the Verdi heroine who sacrifices her own life for the love of the gypsy troubadour. Tenor Yonghoon Lee sings the ill-fated Manrico\, baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky is his rival\, and mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick is the mysterious gypsy with the troubled past. Angela Meade sings Leonora in later performances. Marco Armiliato conducts Sir David McVicar’s Goya-inspired production. \nWorld premiere: Teatro Apollo\, Rome\, 1853. Met premiere: October 26\, 1883. Verdi’s turbulent tragedy of four characters caught in a web of family ties\, politics\, and love is a mainstay of the operatic repertory. The score is as melodic as it is energetic\, with infectious tunes that are not easily forgotten. The vigorous music accompanies a dark and disturbing tale that revels in many of the most extreme expressions of Romanticism\, including violent shifts in tone\, unlikely coincidences\, and characters who are impelled by raw emotion rather than cool logic. \nRunning time 2 hours\, 45 minutes  \nUnderwritten by Jeanne Cook\, Anita and Nicholas Donofrio\, Liz and Steven Goldstone\, Sabina and Walter Slavin
\nWith Support from The Ridgefield Press and Whistle Stop Bakery \n
