Il Trovatore

David McVicar's triumphant production of Verdi's noble but oft-ridiculed drama returns, with Patricia Racette as Leonora, Stephanie Blythe as Azucena, Marco Berti as Manrico and Alexey Markov as the Count di Luna; Daniele Callegari conducts. (On Jan 16, fast-rising soprano Angela Meade plays Leonora.)
