Description
An epic about war, love and vengeance, “Il Trovatore” is an opera of immense verve. Two brothers separated in infancy are brought up to be rivals. A secret is only to be revealed at the price of death.
Set in medieval Spain, it tells the story of the troubadour Manrico and his rival Count di Luna, who have loved the same woman, Leonora. Twisted fate brings these two opponents together in a duel and, eventually, the shared blood is unveiled in tragedy. With numerous heart-wrenching melodies, fiery orchestration and extravagant arias, this is Verdi’s most powerful opera from his golden era.
Professionals involved in “Il Trovatore” include Lo King-man (producer and director) and Lio Kuokman (music director), together with the Hong Kong Virtuosi and the Chorus of the Opera Society of Hong Kong. The talented cast for “Il Trovatore” includes tenors Stephen Mark Brown and Luis Chapa as Manrico and sopranos Marina Costa Jackson, Jee-hye Han and Song Yuan-ming as Leonora. Other performers include mezzo-sopranos Robynne Redmon and Ann McMahon Quintero, baritones Michael Corvino and Brian Montgomery and bass Freddie Tong.
