Recorded earlier this year at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, Giacomo Sagripanti conducts a performance of Verdi's dramatic opera, Il Trovatore, the Troubadour. One of the most popular of Verdi's operas, it's full of wonderfully memorable music, a complicated plot involving family conflict, and the inevitable doomed lovers. Rachel Willis-Sorenson and Michael Fabiano lead the cast as the tragic Leonora and her lover Manrico, the Troubadour. Martin Handley presents this performance in conversation with the music writer and broadcaster Flora Willson. Verdi: Il Trovatore Manrico, the Troubadour .....
