1988 · Film
Released in 1988, Il Trovatore is a music film directed by Brian Large, running about 133 minutes.
What it’s about. Luciano Pavarotti brings his spectacular voice and artistry to one of the most famous of all tenor roles—Manrico, the ardent troubadour, trapped in an impossible situation by forces beyond his control. The sensational Dolora Zajick, only days after her Met debut, gives an incandescent performance as the demented gypsy Azucena, thirsting for revenge against Count Di Luna (Sherrill Milnes). Eva Marton is the passionate Leonora, desired by both Manrico and the Count, and James Levine brilliantly leads the Met’s orchestra and chorus in some of Verdi’s best-known music.
Who’s in it. Il Trovatore stars Éva Marton as Leonora, Dolora Zajick as Azucena, Luciano Pavarotti as Manrico and Sherrill Milnes as Count di Luna, among others.
