Aria 7 Il Trovatore Director’s Note

IT’S BEEN MORE THAN 20 YEARS SINCE HAWAII OPERA THEATRE STAGED A PRODUCTION OF IL TROVATORE. I AM HONORED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DIRECT THIS PRODUCTION FOR HOT IN THE COMPANY OF INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED ARTISTS. THIS IS TRULY A SINGER’S OPERA, WHERE THE DRAMA CONTINUALLY BUILDS TO A POINT WHERE MOST OF THE ACTION HAPPENS OFF STAGE AND WE, THE AUDIENCE, ARE LEFT WITNESSING THE EMOTIONAL FALL OUT.

Hawaii Opera Theatre 8 Aria The source for Verdi’s Il Trovatore is the Spanish play El Trovador, by Antonio García Gutierrez, a great admirer and literary follower of Victor Hugo. Gutierrez wrote the play in 1836, and on the heels of negative reaction to fi rst readings of the work he decided to quit being a playwright and enlist in the army. We shall come back to Gutierrez, who has an amusing biographical note, when El Trovador turned a new page in his life. Verdi saw Gutierrez’s talent as a storyteller and so turned to the poetic librettist Cammarano for Il Trovatore. He encouraged Cammarano to not think of a standard structure for opera and dispel with cavatinas, duets, choruses and fi nales. Verdi faced resistance, and he did like what he was receiving, but kept pushing for the structure to be “more unusual and bizarre” and and we can see this with the Gypsy chorus at the beginning of Act II with the involvement of the anvils.

Speaking of unusual and bizarre, our playwright, Gutierrez, eventually did fi nd success with El Trovador when it was produced by well-known actor Antonio Guzmán. Once it was seen on stage it was acclaimed as a great work, being compared with Calderón and even Shakespeare. Gutierrez, who was in the army, had to go AWOL in order to see Guzmán’s production. He was greatly embarrassed to be called to the stage after the successful performance as he was dressed in his army uniform and being in a place where he shouldn’t have been!

My training is rooted in theatre, so Gutierrez’s play has been a great source to seek the emotional truth of the characters in this opera. Every choice they make in the story is from an act of survival. The stakes are high in Il Trovatore, where each choice can literally mean life or death. What I am attempting to do is to reveal how human these choices are with complexities that even we, in this modern world, can connect to. I choose to do opera over theatre, because I love working with opera singers. I can immediately mine for the humanity in their characters in the rehearsal room. My challenge as a director is to fi nd the right gesture and physicality that allows the performer to embody the emotion and express its truthfulness to the audience. I hope this story touches you as it does me.

Paul Peers Director
