Adele Thomas’ Royal Opera staging channels the Marx Brothers in playing it for laughs, but the musical compensations are many under Sir Antonio Pappano.

Malgré la révélation Judit Kutasi dans le rôle d'Azucena, la reprise de la (décevante) mise en scène d'Àlex Ollé à Bastille ne fait pas du Trouvère une production marquante.

Es war der Abend der Nora Sourouzian: Die Mezzosopranistin legte eine Glanzleistung hin und dominierte einen ansonsten nicht durchwegs spannungsreichen Abend zur Saisoneröffnung in der Oper Graz.

Zwei kurzfristige Umbesetzungen und ein blasses Regiekonzept: Statt feuriger Saisoneröffnung mit Glamourfaktor loderte lediglich ein guter Repertoireabend. 

Vienna stages an all-star new production of Verdi's classic, with sublime singing in Daniele Abbado's Spanish Civil War setting.

An outstanding Azucena and solid vocal and orchestral performances more than make up for David Bösch's unappealing staging.

The Marx Brothers famously sent up Verdi's middle period masterpiece in A Night at the Opera and if Bösch doesn't exactly send up Trovatore's corrosive cocktail of infanticide, jealousy and vengeance, he undermines it with his staging.

Francesco Meli asserts his credentials as one of the top tenors singing Manrico; David Bösch's staging lacks attention to detail.

Nothing will make the plot of Il trovatore less ridiculous. But a director who embraces that ridiculousness, plus stellar playing and singing, make for a great show.

Director Michal Znaniecki sets the action of Verdi's popular Il trovatore in an indeterminate 20th century wartime, undecidedly trying to mix up visual suggestions and primeval anguish

The Il trovatore on offer at the Lyric this month would make a fine CD, its vocal strengths to be found equally among the leading foursome, but its weaknesses are visual and dramaturgical, and these are plenty too.

Since 2013 marks a Verdi anniversary, the Viennese have been treated to two new productions of Il trovatore: Philipp Stölzl’s pacey, offbeat deconstruction that will open in Berlin next week, and this Volksoper co-production with the Theater Bonn where the curtain goes down after every scene.

Il Trovatore has doggedly survived in opera’s hit charts despite dispensing generous quantities of hair-raising as well as eyebrow-raising content. Verdi’s music is intoxicating, of course, but there is something to this work that makes it accessible beyond reasoning.

Simultaneously one of the most loved and most mocked operas in the canon, Il trovatore has some of Verdi’s catchiest melodies set to one of his silliest plots.
