I will freely admit that my chief interest in the Metropolitan Opera’s revival of “Il trovatore” isn’t the marvelous Patricia Racette (a stunning Jenufa at the Dallas Opera a few seasons back) or the equally compelling artistry of Zeljko Lucic (who sang Nabucco as a force of nature in our grand production designed by Frances Bagley and Tom Orr)…No, I admit the biggest draw for me is the fact that this David McVicar production is based on the Civil War drawings of that other phenomenal artist: Francisco Goya. I missed it the first time around…perhaps this time I can find a decent airfare and enjoy all three.
