About Il Trovatore

Verdi’s powerful opera of passion and superstition returns to the Royal Opera House in a dazzling production praised for its anarchic imagination, blending the surreal chaos of Hieronymus Bosch with the mystique of medieval legend.

At the heart of Il Trovatore lies a fiery love triangle: the valiant troubadour Manrico and the envious Count di Luna are locked in fierce rivalry for the love of Leonora. But a dark secret from the past, carried by Manrico’s mother Azucena—still tormented by her own mother’s execution at the hands of the Di Luna family—threatens to unravel everything.

While the opera is famed for the rousing Anvil Chorus, it also brims with electrifying arias, stirring ensembles, and powerful choral moments that showcase Verdi at his most dramatic.
