Il Trovatore

Comments (0) By ABBY KOENIG Thursday, Mar 15 2012

Filled with intrigue and suspense, Giuseppe Verdi’s Il Trovatore closes the season for Opera in the Heights. A salacious delight, the opera has all the trappings of historical fiction — an abundance of family drama, revenge and a tangled love affair. The Count di Luna and Manrico, the troubadour, both love the beautiful Leonora. She favors the romantic Manrico for his seductive, late-night serenades, but trials of the heart are only the beginning of this tale.
