Book Description
This book features line-by-line English translations of the complete Italian libretto of Il trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi. With Italian on the left and English on the right column, the book's layout makes it easy to follow both languages. The book contains a list of main characters and a synopsis of the opera. Most descriptions of characters' movements, emotions, and scene descriptions are deliberately omitted so that readers can easily follow dialogues while they read the text and listen to the opera simultaneously. However, when omission might create possible confusion in understanding the storyline, they remain intact. All soliloquies (Fra se) are parenthesized.While most translations abide by the principle of line-by-line translation, the convoluted syntax of certain parts of the original text makes it impossible to do so. We wish that readers are open-minded to this aspect of translation.

Book Description
The first comprehensive study of Verdi's perennially popular opera Il trovatore, written by one of the world's great Verdi authorities. No full-length study has ever been written on Il trovatore, in his day Verdi's most successful stage work. This book by one of the world's great Verdi authorities fills that gap, providing a comprehensive look at the opera, from its genesis and structure to its early performance history and critical reception. Starting with the background of the opera, the volume traces the origins of the original play by Antonio García Gutiérrez, El trovador, and offers a new, more credible source for the drama. In addition, it examines the evolution of the libretto, the music, and the arrangement of the narrative, revealing innovative musical and dramatic features not seenby other critics. The book also includes a discussion of contemporary reviews and a section on some of the important performers in the twentieth century (for example, Toscanini and Caruso), as well as a consideration of several ofthe more unusual stagings of the work mounted during the final decades of the century. With these and other explorations, Martin Chusid offers a thorough survey of Verdi's Il trovatore and in the process deepens and enhances our encounter with one of the mainstays of the operatic reparatory. Martin Chusid is Professor Emeritus of Music, New York University, and founding director of the American Institute for Verdi Studies.
