ABOUT THE SHOW

Verdi’s masterwork Il trovatore is a tangled web of vengeance, rivalry, and regret. This is grand opera at its most dramatic.

When a gypsy woman is burnt at the stake for allegedly bewitching a child, her daughter, Azucena, swears revenge.

Azucena steals the child’s brother to throw him into the flames of her mother’s burning pyre, however, accidentally throws in her own child. Horrified by her mistake, she brings up the stolen child as her own. This haunting family secret lays the groundwork for Verdi’s tragedy.

Under the baton of West Australian Symphony Orchestra’s Principal Conductor, Asher Fisch, a star cast and chorus perform Verdi’s richly beautiful score which is most famous for the iconic Anvil Chorus.
