 Il trovatore (Theatre)
comment
The Troubadour (Il trovatore, in the original Italian) is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi. It's got your standard opera plot: the tenor and baritone fight over the soprano while the magical gypsy mezzo-soprano plans revenge. Like many operas, it ends tragically.Classic film buffs might recognize it from The Marx Brothers' A Night at the Opera as the Brothers throw it into total chaos. The Anvil Chorus, which opens the second act, is also extremely well-known, and has been parodied at least since The Pirates of Penzance (which came out less than thirty years after the opera itself).

Green-Eyed Monster: Di Luna's actions are motivated primarily out of jealousy that Leonora, his crush, is Manrico's girlfriend instead.

Idiot Ball: The main characters play hot potato with it all over the place, but Leonora is the biggest offender. She agrees to marry Luna to save Manrico, but takes the poison before securing his release and, naturally, dies before getting him free.

comment
"Rashomon"-Style: The story of Azucena's mother and the kidnapping of the Count's brother is told twice from two very different perspectives, first in Ferrando's aria which opens the opera (where he portrays her mother as an evil witch and her execution as completely justified), and then Azucena's monologue to Manrico in Act 2.

Tenor Boy: Manrico, although he's quite badass for a tenor. High Cs help... Played straighter in Verdi's score, which doesn't include the high Cs, which were added in by performers to make the role more dramatic.

comment
Revenge Before Reason: Azucena avenges the killing of her mother by the Count di Luna's father by kidnapping the Count's baby brother and throwing him on the fire where her mother was being burned alive. Later, she ended up raising the Count's brother as her own son, just so that years later she can either get him to kill the Count in a swordfight or trick the Count into killing his own brother.

Dogged Nice Guy: Subverted - The Count isn't a villain, but he certainly isn't nice in his relentless pursuit of Leonora. She's in love with a troubadour? He's a soldier of the enemy? Kill him on the spot! She wants to enter a convent since she believes her lover is dead? Invade the place and get her back by force! However, he isn't the one to suggest that Leonora marry him to save Manrico - he keeps sending her away. And he seems intent on following through with their bargain until she dies before marrying him.

Writers Cannot Do Math
 Il trovatore (Theatre) / int_da1c8191
comment
Writers Cannot Do Math: According to the Count Di Luna, his younger brother disappeared fifteen years ago. This logically means that Manrico should be fifteen or sixteen. But the problem is that by this time, Azucena is supposed to be an old woman, and she had a baby boy at the time of the brother's disappearance. Taking this into account, it's highly unlikely that any woman would go from childbearing age to old age in only fifteen years.
