Presented by Bradford Wade, opera lover for over 40 years.
A multi-generational feud that began with burning a witch at the stake ends with a suicide and a fratricide. Along the way there is a classic tenor-soprano-baritone love triangle. It’s all accompanied by some of Verdi’s most magnificent music, including the famous Anvil Chorus. Lecturer Bradford Wade will give a guided tour of the opera, with a description of the plot interspersed with musical examples. This lecture is given in conjunction with Opera San Jose’s production of Il Trovatore, February 15-March 1.
