What do you get
when you have a woman being burnt on the stake and her daughter tosses a baby –
the wrong baby – on the pyre? The correct answer is Giuseppe Verdi’s incredible
melodrama, Il Trovatore.
The Canadian
Opera Company’s production (borrowed from Opéra de Marseille) eschews melodramatic
displays but does provide some thrills. There are also a few gaffes but overall
the production does credit to Verdi.
