Il Trovatore (Black Dog Opera Library)

"The II Trovatore story takes place in Spain during the early 15th century: a civil war rages between the armies of the Duke of Urgel, a pretender to the throne, and King Juan I of Aragon: Manrico is allied with Urgel, and the young Count di Luna with the King; these two enemies in war are also rivals for Leonora, a beautiful lady-in-waiting to the Queen of Aragon."
