’The Anvil Chorus’ from Il trovatore (The Troubadour) | Oct. 22 - Nov. 7, 2022
For a family at war, the enemy is within.
Music by Giuseppe Verdi / Libretto by Salvadore Cammarano
In Italian with Projected English Titles
Composed 1853
New WNO Production
Jealousy. Sorcery. Vengeance. Forbidden love. Verdi’s melodrama set in 16th century Spain has it all for the “perfect” opera night out, with one rousing aria and chorus after another. Washington National Opera audiences last saw the sweeping tale in 2004, and it returns with grand sets, elaborate period costumes, soaring melodies, and the instantly recognizable Anvil Chorus. Few singers can master Verdi’s demanding vocal acrobatics, and a world-class cast assembles now to give justice to one of the most spectacular works in history!
Manrico, a troubadour, and Count di Luna are bitter rivals in love and war, but they share a secret origin that irrevocably links them. Manrico’s mother, Azucena, carries a secret of her own. When her tragic past returns to haunt her, Azucena’s allegiance will be put to the test.
