Troubadour Manrico and military commander Count di Luna have become rivals vying for Leonora’s heart. Though Leonora loves Manrico, the jealous Count will do everything in his power to have her. Battles between the Count’s army and Manrico's men ensue, and he and Manrico agree to a duel.   

Meanwhile, haunted by a gruesome past, Azucena, Manrico’s mother, harbours a secret that affects both Manrico and the Count: years before, in a vow to avenge the murder of her mother at the hands of the aristocratic Luna family, she abducted their younger son. Will she reveal this truth, or will she see her revenge through at any cost?
