Il Trovatore July 20, 2007

Verdi's magnificent farewell to "bel canto" style is a perennial favorite in opera houses around the world. Caramoor's production on July 14 and 20 is highlighted by Ewa Podles, whose Tancredi at Caramoor last summer was uniformly hailed as one of the biggest operatic events of the year. Will Crutchfield, Caramoor's Opera Director, continues the experiment of interpreting Verdi in the musical style of his day, which Newsday called "a revelation" after Caramoor's 2005 production of La Traviata.

Opera in concert with English super titles.

There will be a Pre-Opera lecture at 7:00pm in the Spanish Courtyard; Lecturer - Will Crutchhfield.
(FREE for Opera Ticket holders.)
