Verdi’s Il Trovatore is our opera of the week

Our free-streamed opera of the week from Operavision is Teatro dell’Opera di Roma ‘s production of Il Trovatore. British baritone Christopher Maltman stars as Count Di Luna against the breathtaking backdrop of the ancient Roman Circus Maximus.

Plot reminder: Aragon descends into unrest, a count jealously fights for a noble lady’s heart. But she has already given it to a passionate troubadour whose mother holds a terrible secret.
