Ópera: Il Trovatore de Verdi

Opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi, with libretto by Salvatore Cammarano, coming to the Sala Sinfónica of the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid with the orchestra, vocal cast and stage team specific to this production.

Il Trovatore is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, born in Bussetto in 1813 and died in Milan in 1901. The libretto is by Salvatore Cammarano and is based on the eponymous drama by the writer Antonio García Gutiérrez. The plot interweaves a sword duel with a vendetta that drags in Manrico, the Count di Luna and Leonora, and moves between love, family loyalty, politics and guilt towards a denouement marked by death.

In this production, David Cervera plays the role of Ferrando. He is joined by Rebeka Lokar as Leonora, Eduardo Sandoval as Manrico, María Luisa Corbacho as Azucena and Manuel Mas as Il Conte di Luna. The cast is completed by Estela Araceli as Inés, Alejandro von Büren as Ruiz, Patri Rodríguez as dancer and Víctor Trueba as an old Gypsy and messenger, with the Orquesta Clásica Santa Cecilia.

The creative team comprises Alejandro Contreras Cortés for staging and set design, Ana Ramos Aguayo for stage movement and costume design, Chus Fernández for lighting, Maribel Martínez for wardrobe and José Ángel Treviño for translation and surtitles. The Auditorio Nacional de Madrid hosts the performance in its Sala Sinfónica, a venue for concerts and shows.
