Composed by operatic master Giuseppe Verdi, Il trovatore (The Troubadour) pits a spiteful count against a valiant troubadour in an intense struggle over the beautiful Leonora. This riveting tale of revenge and passion reveals the tragic fate of a long-lost brother and the loving heroine who bravely sacrifices everything to save him.
