On Saturday, Sept. 27, at 8 p.m., at Central Presbyterian Church in Summit, students from Westfield High school will join with the New Jersey State Opera chorus and a host of renowned opera soloists in Westfield Symphony Orchestra's season opening performance: "A Gypsy Avenged: Il Trovatore"-- opera in concert.

A saga of love, mistaken identity, kidnapping, burning at the stake, poisoning, execution and impossible revenge, with one of the most soaring and haunting musical scores in the operatic repertoire, Il Trovatore involves characters that are larger than life: Count di Luna, a nobleman, the troubadour Manrico, the woman whom they both love, Leonora, and the mysterious gypsy, Azucena.

Il Trovatore will be conducted by WSO's Maestro David Wroe and performed in Italian with libretto notes in English. A short lecture and pre-opera chat designed to make your opera experience more enjoyable will be conducted by Dr. Barbara Thomson prior to the performance in the Summit Presbyterian Church Sanctuary at 7p.m.
Tickets ($25-$70) may be purchased directly from the WSO office at 224 E. Broad Street, or by calling the box office at (908) 232-9400. Call 908-232-9400, email wso@westfieldsymphony.org or go to www.westfieldsymphony.org.
