Opera in four acts to a libretto by Salvadore Cammarano, after the play Il trovador by Antonio García Gutiérrez Recommended age: 12+ The impressive success recorded by the opera The Troubadour ("Il trovatore") at the time of its premiere on January 19, 1853 was materialized by its subsequent ranking in the string of the "popular trilogy", along with two other Verden masterpieces - Rigoletto and Traviata . The corpus of the composer's dramatic works already included patriotic subjects or taken from English (William Shakespeare, Lord Byron), French (Victor Hugo), German (Friedrich Schiller) romantic literature when he approached the writings of his Spanish contemporary Antonio García Gutiérrez (1813 -1884) and the drama El trovador . The action of the opera The Troubadour , carried out during the four suggestively titled acts ( The Duel, The Gypsy, The Gypsy's Son and The Punishment) is set in 15th century Spain and centers on Count Alvaro de Luna, Manrico and Countess Leonora de Seze, with whom both men are in love. The plot of the story is not limited to the jealousy that the Count of Luna feels towards his rival, the troubadour Manrico, whom Leonora, in turn, loves. The disappearance many years ago of the count's brother Garcia, abducted and apparently killed by an old witch, echoes in the present: as the count seeks to avenge his brother, the gypsy Azucena—the burned witch's daughter and mother to Manrico - seeks to punish the de Luna family harshly. We are waiting for you to discover a captivating story of romantic, maternal, filial love, a story of cruelty and revenge born at the unfortunate intersection of the two worlds so discrepant: the noble one and that of the simple gypsies! The show has three breaks and ends around 9:30 p.m
