Stage director Àlex Ollé has managed to prise the drama of Il Trovatore away from its excessive romanticism by transferring the action to the First World War, on a stage disfigured by trenches, and weighed down by desolation and the meaninglessness of soldiers facing off against their fellow human beings. The solid vocal quartet required for this opera is led by tenor Piero Pretti and baritone Artur Ruciński, regulars at Les Arts, together with Rachel Willis-Sørensen, one of the most relevant sopranos today who will make her debut in Valencia with the role of Leonora after singing it at The Metropolitan. Also, Ekaterina Semenchuk, the best current Azucena, will return to Les Arts to sing this role for the second time.
