Summary:
Few operas have been as maligned as Il Trovatore. But few things in opera can compare to (and diminish an audience's delight in) the dramatic power of the endless melodies and surging rhythms Verdi lavished on his characters. At the center of a tangled web of fate is Marcello Álvarez as the heroic troubadour, Manrico, who finds himself in a deadly conflict with Count di Luna (a suave Dmitri Hvorostovsky) over the woman they both love (Sondra Radvanovsky as Leonora). It's all the fault of the demented gypsy Azucena (a brilliant Dolora Zajick), who is Manrico's mother. Or is she?
Contents:
All'erta! all'erta!
Di due figli vivea padre beato ; Abbietta zingara, fosca vegliarda
E il padre? Brevi e tristi giorni visse
Che più t'arresti?
Tacea la notte placida
Di tale amor
Tace la notte ; Il Trovator! Io fremo! Deserto sulla terra
Anima mia! Ah! Dalle tenebre
No! Di geloso amor sprezzato
Vedi! Le fosche notturne (Anvil chorus)
Stride la vampa!
Soli or siamo!
Condotta ell'era in ceppi
Non son tuo figlio?
Mal reggendo all'aspro assalto
Perigliarti ancor laguente
Tutto è deserto
Il balen del suo sorriso
Qual suono! Oh ciel! Per me, ora fatale
Ah! Se l'error t'ingombra ; Perchè piangete?
E deggio e posso oredelo?
Or co' dadi, ma fra poco
In braccio al mio rival!
Giorni poveri vivea ; Deh! Rallentate, o barbari
Deh! Rallentate, o barbari
Quale d'armi fragor
Ah! Si, ben mio, coll'essere
L'onda de'suoni mistic
Di quella pira
Siam guinti: ecco la torre ; Timor di me?
D'amor sull'ali rosee
Miserere: Quel suon, quelle preci
Udiste? Come albeggi
Mira, di acerbe lagrime ; Colui vivrà
Madre, non dormi?
Si, la stanchezza, m'opprime
Che! Non m'inganna quel floco lume?
Parlar non vuoi?
Ti scocta! Prima che d'altri vivere.
