Il trovatore (The Troubadour) is an opera in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto largely written bySalvadore Cammarano, based on the play El trovador (1836) by Antonio García Gutiérrez. It was Gutiérrez's most successful play, one which Verdi scholar Julian Budden describes as "a high flown, sprawling melodrama flamboyantly defiant of the Aristotilian unities, packed with all manner of fantastic and bizarre incident." Il trovatore is NCPA's sixth Giuseppe Verdi's opera.
