**About the Production:**

First performed in Rome in 1853 and last presented by the Opéra de Québec in 2010, "Il trovatore" remains one of Verdi's most celebrated operas, alongside "La traviata" and "Rigoletto." This opera in four acts tells the tragic tale of love, jealousy, and revenge against the backdrop of war. The story revolves around the complex relationships between Manrico, the mysterious troubadour; Leonora, his beloved; Count de Luna, who is driven by jealousy; and Azucena, the bohemian who harbors deep secrets.
