Giuseppe Verdi "Il Trovatore"Muzikālais vadītājs un diriģents: Aleksandrs ViļumanisDiriģents: Jānis LiepiņšRežisors: Andrejs ŽagarsScenogrāfs: Reinis Dzudzil...

The gypsy woman Azucena, whose mother was burned at the stake, wants to take revenge on Count Luna for all she has suffered. She kidnaps one of the Count’s sons and raises him as her own, all the while plotting her revenge. Many years later, Manriko, the troubador raised by gypsies, doesn’t realize that his greatest opponent in the race to capture the heart of the woman he loves is his own brother – the young Count Luna. Il Trovatore was a grand success for Giuseppe Verdi and still maintains its place in the golden classics of opera repertoire. Its popularity stems from its magnificent, expressive music: the emotional strength and psychological veracity of the characters come across beautifully in the opera’s moving arias and colourful ensembles.

The Troubadour by Verdi, From (2016/2016), Directed by Andrejs Žagars,, Conductor Jānis Liepiņš, Aleksandrs Vilumanis, Latvian National Opera, Riga, Latvia
