Daniele Callegari conducts Verdi's dramatic blockbuster at the New York Metropolitan Opera, with Michael Fabiano and Rachel Willis-Sørensen as the tragic lovers Manrico and Leonora. Doomed love, family strife, tenor pyrotechnics, stereotyped gypsies and the famous anvil chorus - all the ingredients for a great night at the opera.
Presented from the Met by Debra Lew Harder, with commentator Ira Siff.
