In technical preparation for the Metropolitan Opera PBS telecast of Il Trovatore in 1989, portions of the Saturday matinee of January 21st were videotaped. The matinee cast for this "scratch tape" was somewhat different then the telecast, which had been taped the previous October. This performance had Aprile Millo, rather than Eva Marton, as Leonore and Fiorenza Cossotto, rather than Dolora Zajick, as Azucena. In this excerpt, never before shown publicly, Ms. Millo sings D'amor sull'ali rosee from Act 4. James Levine conducts.
If only Millo had sung the full broadcast.
