Tonight - a little more culture - and first visit to the Metropolitan Opera - new production of Il Trovatore - crits have been good - "this is the Trovatore the Met has been waiting for" - good cast - Marcello Alvarez (Manrico), Dmitri Hvorotovsky (Di Luna), Sondra Radvanovsky (Leonora) and Dolora Zajick (Azucena) - seats at back of orchestra ($82.00) - good view of stage but sound muffled especially the orchestra - huge set on revolve - quite traditional - great singing but not much acting (except Zajick) - a Trovatore without passion! - the duel between Manrico and di Luna was laughable! - but the building is spectacular.
