Houston Grand Opera Orchestra and Chorus

Giuseppe Verdi's Il trovatore
Brown Theater | Sung in Italian with projected English translation.

Revenge and Passion on a Monumental Scale: the is grand opera!

Verdi's music illuminates this opera's story with rapid-fire dance rhythms to great theatrical effect. The score is expressive - melodies arrive in quick succession - each more stirring than the last. The result is an unerring melodrama that grips us with intense power.

Il trovatore is tour-de-force of musical and dramatic demands that are not for the faint of heart. One of the grandest of all grand operas - it's an experience not to be missed.
