Last night, a performance of Verdi's Il trovatore starring Anna Pirozzi, Christopher Maltman, Gregory Kunde and Marina Prudenskaya, conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, was live-streamed on YouTube. The full performance remains available for you to enjoy below:

If this performance inspires you to buy a recording of Il trovatore, then you should consider the Karajan conducted and directed live performance from 1978, starring Plácido Domingo and Raina Kabaivanska on ArtHaus Musik DVD. There's also Karajan's account from 1956, starring Maria Callas and Giuseppe di Stefano – an unmissable recording.
