Il Trovatore Anvil Chorus Met Opera

The Anvil Chorus from the Metropolitan Opera's production of Verdi's Il Trovatore

Verdi is a genius for using hammers and anvils as percussion instruments. It adds some thematic and flavor.

Good to know that all of those anvil lessons didn't go to waste.

This makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, absolutely incredible.

One time in college a friend of mine had massive speakers in an Mg rover. All the usual souped up guys in the tesco car park were playing some crap so we drover by with this belting out and their faces just imploded.

[rutha]

Oh Giuseppe! Nearly two centuries, and still you inspire us.

Music and muscles?! Powerful stuff. A treat for the eyes as well as the ears.

A young conductor asked Arturo Toscanini, arguably the greatest conductor in opera history, how to conduct this piece.

Toscanini's response? "Listen to the women when they do their laundry by the river. They get it right every time."

i enjoyed this live at The MET. Superb production. Bravi! Ascoltando questa splendida composizione di Giuseppe Verdi mi sento orgoglioso do essere Italiano.

[TheContessa]

Just sublime and this performance starred the late Great Baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky - who had a voice like melted chocolate. RIP Dimi!

[danjones]

It always seems that Operas always put more work into the production than standard play/musicals.

Grazie, l' opera è bellissima, mi chiedo.... perché la scenografia ha sempre lo sfondo scurissimo, mi fa soffrire, lo trovo deprimente, che peccato 😢😢😢
