The last time Seattle Opera performed Verde’s Il Trovatore was in 2010. I saw it then, but I wasn’t blogging yet, so I don’t have a record of my impressions, and my memories are a little vague. Il Trovatore was the first opera that my opera buddy ever saw – she saw Seattle Opera’s mid-90’s production. We were both excited to see how this new production directed by local artist Dan Wallace Miller compares to our earlier experiences.
