 The Gotham Translator, Newsletter of the New York Circle of Translators
Because of the success of Il trovatore and a few of the turns of its plot, usually mangled at least to some extent by numerous atrocious translations, the work was and is seen by many English-speaking critics as the quintessentially silly Italian opera.
The driving force of the plot of Il trovatore is the enmity between Manrico and the Count de Luna.

The music of "Il Trovatore" has been described as often distressingly simple and tawdry; and undoubtedly it does show a falling off from the promise of "Rigoletto." But Mr.
The Count’s great bass aria "Il Balen," the bright "Anvil Chorus" of the gipsies, Manrico’s spirited air "Di Quella Pira," his tender duet with Azucena, the great "Miserere," and the effective prison scene, there are not made of the stuff that is found in Wagner; but, as Mr.

 Il trovatore @ Royal Opera House, London: opera review
Il trovatore is one of opera's typical contradictions: it's amongst Verdi's most popular and beloved scores, yet its critical reception has always been mixed.
As the Count sends Manrico to his execution, Azucena, the gypsy whom Manrico has been falsely raised to believe is his mother but has only brought him up in place of her own son, reveals that Manrico was the Count's long-lost brother.
Il Conte di Luna is suddenly a more driven character; Azucena is so haunted that she seems almost to be communing with the Devil; Leonora has more dramatic pathos; and even Manrico has greater psychological development.

Even though the libretto of Il trovatore was already finished, the theatre in which to perform it had not yet been chosen.

Il Trovatore: Act I: Di due figli vivea padre beato...
Price and Corelli had taken the Metropolitan by storm the previous year in the same roles and the vocal beauty, strength and ardor that propelled them to international stardom are much in evidence, particularly in the former's assumption of Leonora--Price even throws in a few extra high Cs in the "Miserere" for good measure.
Despite the ease with which the dictum that "all Trovatore needs is the four greatest singers in the world" is met, ultimately the driving force behind this night is Karajan, who gives this fast-moving melodrama exactly the propulsion it needs without slighting the lyrical moments.

 Il trovatore
Two enemies, passionate and vengeful; an old gypsy woman with a mysterious bond to them both and a passionate young woman who must either betray an all-consuming love or face death itself - these are the fiery elements that govern Verdi's unforgettable masterpiece of obsession, madness and retribution, Il trovatore (1853).
Fiery, irrational and melodramatic, Verdi's opera may not be as revolutionary in form as the masterpieces that surround it – Rigoletto of a year or so before and La traviata, which he was writing almost side by side with Il trovatore but premiered a few months later – but it is uniquely hot-blooded.
The Count di Luna believes that the gypsy woman Azucena threw his brother into the flames by a gypsy girl as revenge for the death of her mother.

 Soundings: B-Team effort on 'Il Trovatore'
The Washington National Opera continues its 49th season with one of the best-known operas in the literature--"Il Trovatore." Filled with memorable arias and melodies of the sort that appear in "opera's most favorite moments" CDs, "Trovatore" offers an abundance of musical pleasures.
The "Trovatore" offered on opening night was a flat production that never caught fire and seldom thrilled.
While it's possible a few folk did leave the opera house humming one or two familiar melodies, more likely the melodies being hummed were of the discordant and not satisfied variety.

 Sound Recording Review--Verdi: Il Trovatore   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Since Il Trovatore is a singers' opera, one can hardly blame every international star for wanting a go at it, but -like Everest and Norma-it yields to few assaults.
Arturo Toscanini never recorded Il Trovatore, but there is a school of thought that he, not Verdi, wrote the metronome markings in the Ricordi edition.
Davis is not one to buck a trend: most of his main tempos are faster than those published by Ricordi, and some pages, such as the anvil chorus, sound like Rossini in a ferocious mood.

 Magnificent mezzo soars over wobbly 'Trovatore'
The return of this great American mezzo-soprano to the San Francisco Opera after an unconscionable absence of nearly a decade was the only unqualified piece of good news from Sunday afternoon's lackluster opening performance of Verdi's "Il Trovatore" at the War Memorial Opera House.
Singing her signature role of the vengeful Gypsy Azucena, Zajick provided a full helping of vocal color, dramatic urgency and technical assurance in a performance where those qualities were otherwise in short supply.
Although her fatal baby-swapping sets the opera's melodramatic plot in motion, the central drama is that old love triangle among high-spirited soprano, ardent tenor and mustachio-twirling baritone villain.

[This RCA Trovatore] remains one of the finest versions of this opera.
The Trovatore loses almost nothing in the remastering - though digital recording would have captured more of the bloom on Leontyne Price's high notes - and it gains immeasurably.
Price is a model of eloquence in 'D'amor sull'ali rosee'; Domingo has enormous fire and verve, especially when the magnificent New Philharmonia propel him into 'Di quella pira' as though shooting him from a gun; Milnes is warm and firm-toned; Cossotto commanding if rather grim.

Despite shortcomings, such as mediocre conducting, cuts and the "old" sound, not least the miscast tenor, this "Trovatore" remains unsurpassed for the beauty of singing.
He is perfect for "Ballo," "Faust" and "Manon," but not for "Aida" or "Il Trovatore." But the beauty of his voice and singing compensates amply for the shortcoming.

Likewise, those who value the bel canto elements in Il trovatore might be put off by the emphatic verismo approach that was more in vogue when this recording was made.
For me the most impressive performance on this recording is the Manrico of Francesco Merli, one of the finest tenors of his generation.
