Il trovatore (that is roughly translated as “The Troubadour”) is a popular opera that has been composed in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to a simple Italian libretto that has been composed by both Leone Emanuele Bardare and Salvatore Cammarano. It has been adapted from a play titled “El Trovador” that had been by Antonio García Gutierrez. This opera had been performed for the very first time at the venue of the Teatro Apollo, Rome on the 19th of January in the year 1853. In the year 1854-1855, whilst its season in Paris, Verdi had revised the respective opera for the Theatre des Italians as Le trouvère. Several of its performances in the month of January in 1855 had been very well received.
On several different occasions, this opera and also its music had been included in numerous forms of popular culture and also entertainment. There had been many scenes of hilarious comic chaos play tat has been featured in a performance of the respective opera at the venue of the Marx Brother’s film titled “A Night at the Opera.”
This opera is also featured on Opera America's list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America. It is at number seventeen. The first act begins with Ferrando, who is the captain of the guards. He orders his men to continue their watch whilst the Count di Lunais shown wandering restlessly below the windows of Leonora, who is the character that is waiting to the Princess. Di Luna is in love with Leonora, and is extremely jealous of his successful rival who is troubadour Manrico. With the intention of keeping the guards awake, Ferrando gives a narration of the entire history of the count to the guard himself.
As the story goes on it is shown that a gypsy had quite some ago managed to bewitch the younger brother of the count and had made him both weak and ill. He had been burnt alive as a witch. When she had been dying, she had ordered her daughter named Azucena to avenge her death which she had done so by carrying off the younger brother. Later the burnt bones of some child are found in the ashes but the father does not believe in any case that his son is dead. He then orders Count di Luna to look for Azucena.
The second scene involves the showcasing of the garden in the palace of the princess. This is where Leonora confesses that she is in love with Manrico. She confesses this to confidante named Ines. After their departure Count di Luna over hears the voice of his rival who is actually Manrico. The count is mistaken by Leonora as Manrico. She runs in to his arms. The count then compels Manrico to a fight. Leonora makes a feeble intervention but is unable to stop their fighting.
