2001
Overview
All that is needed for a good performance of Il Trovatore, the famous tenor Enrico Caruso once said, is \"the four greatest singers in the world\". That observation might not be much encouragement for a company such as English National Opera, which puts its faith in a roster of regular house singers rather than the jet-setting circuit of international stars. Undaunted, though, they have mounted a new production of the most challenging of Verdi's middle-period masterpieces and, musically at least, made a big success of it. Anyone who hankers after hearing this supercharged score live - it contains some spellbinding music wedded to a plot whose blood feuds and sexual rivalries could fuel a dozen episodes of EastEnders - shouldn't hesitate to buy a ticket.
