The Count de Luna is a powerful lord, wealthy and used to getting whatever he wants. His pride is wounded when the beautiful lady-in-waiting, Doña Leonor, vehemently rejects his proposal of marriage. There is another man standing in the way of the Count – a mysterious troubadour who won Doña Leonor’s heart by his singing. But the Count is not willing to give her up…
This dramatic love triangle is the topic of Giuseppe Verdi’s well-known opera, The Troubadour, which has recently been revived by Tanja Stern in a novel told in the style of the 18th century. The Troubadour is part one of the novel trilogy, Opera Murder – three Verdi operas in prose narration.
