| Description |
One of the most popular "grats" in the operatic repertoire. The story of the tormented old gypsy Azucena, haunted by her mother's death and the curse of a murdered infant. Two men compete for the love of the Duchess Leonora - and only Azucena is privy to the awesome secret which links them. A work of love, revenge and retribution, set to music which sweeps all before it |
