Just under the surface, every family has its unresolved problems and mysteries. Verdi’s Il trovatore embraces this complexity ––a Romani curse, disappeared children, mislaid identities, deadly fires, unfathomable loss. But something elemental emerges from the shadows and the embers, rekindled by Verdi’s thrumming, thrilling score––an extended family coming to terms with its secret history. In a politically divided Spain, the royalist Count di Luna and the revolutionary leader Manrico love the same woman, Leonora. As the men face off, they become ensnared in a larger web of lies, murder, and revenge, spun in part by the fascinating Romani woman Manrico knows as his mother: Azucena, whose own mother’s death set the story in motion many years earlier. Azucena holds all the cards and plays them, with eerie certainty, right up to the last moment.

Il Trovatore

Wortham Theater Center

New York City Ballet’s past and present meet here, as two Balanchine classics are joined by a pair of new ballets. Rubies, from the full-length Jewels, has become an established stand-alone diversion, delightful for Balanchine’s endlessly energetic and witty interpretation of the splendid Stravinsky score. Le Tombeau de Couperin, a highlight of the Company’s 1974 Ravel Festival, is a gracious, courtly Black & White ensemble work. Resident Choreographer Justin Peck presents his 24th ballet for the Company, while Amy Hall Garner, whose work has been seen on a wide array of dance and theater stages, makes her debut with the Company.
