The intense musical beauty of Il trovatore has given rise to fervent expressions of admiration: “apotheosis of bel canto ”; «masterpiece of romanticism»; « Italian Passion According to Saint Matthew ». Premiered in 1853, it is the second opera in the Verdian "Popular Trilogy". The libretto, considered confusing and excessive, tells the story of the gypsy Azucena, who, maddened by the death of her mother, sent to burn for witchcraft, throws her own son into the fire.

Enrico Caruso used to say that for a successful performance of this opera, the four greatest singers in the world are needed. In 1949, we had Caniglia, Stignani, Gigli and Bechi in São Carlos.

Stefano Vizioli returns to our theatre, where he made his directorial debut in 1988 with Manon Lescaut . Portuguese interpreters will defend the two main female roles: Cristiana Oliveira will sing her second Leonora Verdiana; Cátia Moreso will be Azucena. The titular role will be played by tenor Azer Zada ​​who, after debuting in 2009 in his native Azerbaijan, conquered Scala and other Italian theaters with a Verdian repertoire. He made his debut in São Carlos in La Wally and returns to sing his first Manrico.
