Listen
In this Opera Cheat Sheet, Houston Public Media's St.John Flynn and Eric Skelly of the River Oaks Chamber Orchestra give their usual open and honest overview of one of Giuseppe Verdi's most tuneful works. Il Trovatore is a story of nobles, gypsies and singing soldiers, and reminds us of the terrible consequences of seething revenge!
Tune in Saturday, February 13th at noon to hear the Metropolitan Opera broadcast of Il Trovatore, featuring Angela Meade as Leonora, Marcello Giordani as Manrico and Dolora Zajick as Azucena, on Houston Public Media's Classical 91.7.
