For Leonora, the troubadour Manrico's song holds the promise and the fervor of love, while Manrico's rival Count Luna perceives threat and danger in it. Verdi's opera is a celebration of Italian opera singing at its finest - it is no coincidence that the title character is himself a singer. And yet, for the composer, Azucena, Manrico's mother, was the real main character. Il trovatore is rich in dramatic complications and intense emotions, which Verdi juxtaposes harshly in images and scenes. The tragedy unfolds relentlessly before our eyes and ears until the truth is revealed in the last seconds of the opera.

Il trovatore

Hamburg State Opera

"At the White Horse Inn on Lake Wolfgangsee, happiness is at your doorstep" - in the popular inn, all kinds of different characters meet each other, all looking for happiness (in love): waiter Leopold loves his boss, the landlady of the "Rössl", Josepha Vogelhuber, but is constantly rejected because Josepha is interested in her regular guest Dr. Siedler. But he has his eye on the factory owner's daughter Ottilie, who in turn is to marry Sigismund, the son of her father's greatest competitor. Sigismund, however... in short: Lake Wolfgangsee is not just an Alpine Salzkammergut idyll, but also a tangle of love and competition. And then the emperor comes.
