Review: The Marx Brothers Found Life in TROVATORE that the Met Couldn’t Muster
by Richard Sasanow - Nov 1, 2024

I must admit that the Met’s current revival of IL TROVATORE--with RIGOLETTO and TRAVIATA, considered the great creations of Verdi’s middle period--made me think of another masterwork, “A Night at the Opera,” my favorite of the movies by those champions of silliness, the Marx Brothers.
