Il trovatore (The Troubadour) is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Leone Emanuele Bardare and Salvadore Cammarano, based on the play El Trovador by Antonio García Gutiérrez.

It was first performed at the Teatro Apollo, Rome on 19 January 1853 and was immensely popular with some 229 productions wordwide in the following three years.[1] In fact, "in Naples, for example, where the opera in its first three years had eleven stagings in six theaters, the performances totaled 190".[1]

During the 1854/55 season while in Paris, Verdi agreed to a French translation of the opera for the Théatre des Italiens and he made several revisions to it (including adding ballet music for Act 3), but with most of these focusing on the music of Azucena and the finale of Act 4.[2] As Le trouvère the opera received the first of many performances on 12 January 1857.

  • @billyguns2 Yes you are right. It is Fedora Barbieri. This is the 1956 studio recording with Karajan.

  • I believe this is Fedora Barbieri as Azucena, because the di Luna is most definitely Rolando Panerai and the Manrico is Giuseppe di Stefano; the only recording of these arrtists with Maria Callas in IL TROVATORE is the studio recording led by Herbert von Karajan, and the Azucena there is definitely Fedora Barbieri, NOT Giulietta Simionato.

  • Thank you !

  • @Operafiend22 ...Great post in any case...thanks

  • Doesn't the Trovatore recording with Callas/Simionato have Baum as Manrico? This is di Stefano, so I think Barbiere is the Azucena. Great post in any
