The Max Maretzek Italian Opera Company (sometimes referred to as the Italian Opera Company, the Italian Grand Opera Company, or Academy of Music Opera Company) was a touring American opera company that performed throughout the United States from 1849-1878.  The first major opera company in Manhattan and one of the first important companies in the United States, it had a long association with the Academy of Music in New York City where it presented an annual season of opera from 1854 until the company's demise in 1878 There the company performed the United States premieres of "Rigoletto", "Il trovatore", and "La traviata" among other works. This is a partial discography of Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Il trovatore" ("The Troubadour") and "Le trouvère" (the revised version in French translation).  At least 83 recordings exist of the opera as a whole, made between 1912 and 2011, although not all of them are absolutely complete.  Of these, 45 are live audio recordings, 22 are studio audio recordings, and 16 are videos or movies.  "Il trovatore" was first performed at the Teatro Apollo, Rome on 19 January 1853.  "Le trouvère" was first presented on 12 January 1857. Der Freischütz , Op. 77, J. 277, (usually translated as "The Marksman" or "The Freeshooter") is a German opera with spoken dialogue in three acts by Carl Maria von Weber with a libretto by Friedrich Kind.  It premiered on 18 June 1821 at the Schauspielhaus Berlin.  It is considered the first important German Romantic opera, especially in its national identity and stark emotionality. Aleksandrs Antoņenko (born in Riga June 26, 1975) is a Latvian tenor who specializes in dramatic repertoire.  He debuted on stage as "Prince" in "Rusalka" in 2009.  Since then, he has performed in cities such as Baden-Baden, Berlin, Monte Carlo, and Stockholm.  Notable appearances include a 2012 appearance in Tosca, as Cavaradossi, at La Scala.

He will also appear as the title role in the Metropolitan Opera's new production of "Otello", which will open the Met's 2015-2016 season.  The production is notable within American opera circles due to the Met's decision to abandon their tradition of blackface for the role of Otello.  Other future performances include "Norma" at the Bavarian State Opera, "Otello" at Barcelona's Gran Teatre del Liceu and Zürich's Opernhaus, and "Pagliacci" at the Royal Opera House in London.

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."
