Il Trovatore (The Troubadour), an opera in four acts by composer Guiseppe Verdi, is a suspenseful story about the royal di Luna family and a poor gypsy family set in 15th century Spain and based on a play by Antonio Garcia Gatteerez.

A narrator lets us know that Azucena, a gypsy woman has avenged the wrongful execution of her mother by stealing the younger of the old count's two sons.

Azucena raises the baby as Manrico, a replacement for her own child that she threw in the flames by mistake. Her plan is that some day she can have vengence on the nobles through Manrico - and so the opera begins!
