ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

Program Notes from medici.tv:
Azucena’s eternal vengeance comes back to set the stage ablaze in the timeless drama of Verdi’s Il trovatore, staged specially for the 2022 Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Autumn Festival and conducted by the great Zubin Mehta! Witch-hunts, love triangles, lost children, and poisoned drinks all have a part to play, but the Spanish gypsy Azucena forms the heart of the action—indeed, Verdi initially planned to name the opera after her. She is, for Verdi scholar Julian Budden, “the first in a glorious line” of female characters with similar features: think of Ulrica in Un ballo in Maschera, Eboli in Don Carlos, Amneris in Aida.
