 Il Trovatore
June 12 - 14
Lila Cockrell Theatre
200 E. Market Street
Enter a bewitching world that simmers with curses, spells, and mysteries. The tragic, mistaken identity of a baby sacrificed in vengeance, leads to a lifelong feud between two men, their fate entangled with a gypsy who brought it all to pass. Unexpected twists and turns abound as Verdi's music propels them - and the woman they both love - towards destruction. From the rousing "Anvil Chorus" to some of opera's most beloved arias, this is one of Verdi's most popular works. www.saopera.com
