  • Well,this Leonora must have been the most stupid woman of all time. To prefer Manrico to the sexiest di Luna of them all - I'm without speech!!!

  • The only complaint to this performance is that Leonora's cavaletta of act 4.1 was cut. Whether she is stupid or not, for not choosing Il Conte di Luna, I don't know (If I were her, I will choose Luna by Ettore Bastianini's of course, but then this story will not move the way librettist wrote....so....).

    But she is the most brave woman, who is ready to sacrifice herself for her beloved. I am not sure if I can do it.

  • @SchallundWahn - TOTALMENTE DE ACUERDO, EL MEJOR BARÍTONO DE LA HISTORIA. !!!!

  • Was there ever a better baritone? NO!

    Was any baritone hotter than him? NO!

    He's the greatest!

  • This is a wonderful aria.

  • Kind of funny how they are hiding in ambush- and singing at the top of their lungs. LOL.

    That's the cool thing about opera: rather than just dialog between people, they speak their thoughts and feelings out loud in a way that would never be plausible in spoken drama but somehow comes off remarkably well in opera.

    great art form.

  • It's been said that Verdi preferred baritones, he felt the voice was more natural and I would have to agree with him! =) He generally wrote great music for the baritone roles.

  • I'm not so sure I would nominate Di Luna as the villain of IL TROVATORE. That would have to be Azucena, surely...she KNOWS Manrico is the Count's brother...

  • and del monaco cant?!!?!?!

  • The first time I ever heard this, I couldn't bellieve Verdi gave the most beautiful aria to the villain.
