YMMV / Il trovatore

Go To

  • Awesome Music: The Anvil Chorus, Azucena's "Stride la vampa," Di Luna's "Il balen," Manrico's "Di quella pira," Leonora's "D'amor sull'ali rosee," the Miserere, and Azucena and Manrico's Act IV duet "Ai nostri monti"note  have all been beloved show tunes ever since the opera's premiere.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: Count di Luna, sometimes in literally so.
  • Narm Charm: The plot is so confusing it has earned the ridicule of parodies dating back to Gilbert and Sullivan. But the opera's popular musical numbers assure its place in the standard repertory.
