With her dying breath, the mother begged her daughter to avenge her. Azucena, having stolen Manrico, Count Di Luna’s son, when a child, brings him up as her son. Manrico’s real brother is the present Count Di Luna, though neither is aware of it. They are both in love with the Lady Leonora, whom Manrico is serenading when Di Luna appears. They fight, and Manrico the troubadour escapes. Manrico now with his supposed mother, recovering from his wound, hears that Leonora, believing him dead, is about to take the veil. He hurries to the convent where he finds Di Luna and his soldiers. This time Manrico routs Di Luna’s’ forces, and entering the convent, clasps Leonora to his heart. Leonora then takes the veil of a bride and not of a nun. Later, at the wedding festivities, Manrico receives word that his supposed mother, Azucena, is being put to the torture in the camp of Di Luna. He attempts to rescue her but this time he is captured and imprisoned. Leonora seeks Di Luna and offers to give herself to him if he will release Manrico, Di Luna agrees and Leonora is allowed to visit Manrico in his cell with the tidings of his release. Before doing so she takes poison from a ring she wears. She expires in Manrico’s arms. Di Luna is furious and orders Manrico’s instant execution. To add to his revenge he has Azucena dragged in to witness the death throes of her son. Too late, the horrified Count learns from Azucena that he has killed his own brother. : 5 x i session 9. 0 NBS newsreel 9.15 BBC news commentary 9.25 Station notices 9.28 Continuation of "Il Trova- " ¥ tore } 411. 0 NEWS FROM LONDON fol- ~ . lowed by meditation music 11.30 CLOSE DOWN
