With the Troubadour, the pearl of his oeuvre, Giuseppe Verdi finally convinced and won over the demanding opera audience around the world, while his works became a regularity of every opera house. The Troubadour is an opera of eternal motifs: war, death, love and revenge. It was already enthusiastically received by the audience at the premiere, although the performance was allegedly not quite brilliant. The story, which takes place in the early 15th century during one of the civil wars in the Iberian Peninsula, keeps taking over the audience over and over again.
