First performed in Rome in 1853, Il Trovatore is one of Giuseppe Verdi’s most successful and most performed operas. Supremely melodic, vigorously paced, it is filled with arias and vocal ensembles of thrilling power. Grand opera at its most stirring, it is above all rich in opportunities for bravura singing. Music lovers can savor and study in detail Verdi’s scoring of this perennial operatic favorite with this finely made full-score edition.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Il Trovatore (The Troubadour) has a convoluted (some might say silly) and hard-to-follow plot with more twists and turns than a mountain path, but it also has some of Giuseppe Verdi's best-beloved music, including those Big Tunes for operatic gypsies, Azucena's aria "Stride la vampa" (an account of punishment by flame) and the Anvil Chorus. Verdiphiles can check it all out (including those anvil parts) in this Dover reprint of a full orchestral score. The usual caveats apply: the full score is better suited to the music student than to the working singer or accompanist, and this is a reprint of an older score and so may contain errors corrected in more recent editions. Still, for the price, it's a bargain indeed.
