Il trovatore
(;
Italian
for "The
Troubadour
") is an
opera
in four acts by
Giuseppe Verdi
to an Italian
libretto
largely written by
Salvadore Cammarano
, based on the play
El trovador
(1836) by
Antonio García Gutiérrez
. It was Gutiérrez's most successful play, one which Verdi scholar
Julian Budden
describes as "a high flown, sprawling melodrama flamboyantly defiant of the
Aristotelian unities
, packed with all manner of fantastic and bizarre incident."
