For the second of the BBC's live stereo broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, an all-star cast has been assembled under the baton of the theatre's artistic director James Levine.
Verdi's perennially popular melodrama is played out against a background of violent and sensational action during the 15th-century Spanish civil war. Garcia, younger brother of the Count of Luna, was kidnapped as a child by a gypsy woman who named him Manrico and brought him up as her own son.
Unaware of his true identity, he finds himself fighting his brother, both in the war and in love for the hand of Leonora, the Queen's beautiful lady-in-waiting.
The first two acts, The Duel and The Gypsy, precede the interval, which is followed by the final two acts, The Gypsy's Son and The Torture.
Chorus and Orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera New York
Introduced in New York by British bass singer Robert Lloyd who, during the interval, talks to some of the stars involved in the production.

Over the past 18 months, two students from the University of Southern California's Centre for Visual Anthropology, Dan Marks and Thomas Fleming, have compiled a unique documentary following the deadly war between the two rival gangs dominating the ghetto in south-central Los Angeles, the Crips and the Bloods. This film focuses on the special efforts the Sheriffs department is making to intervene in the violence that has seen 650 deaths since January 1987, mainly innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire of two groups who will kill just because their rivals are wearing the wrong colours. The film won an American Academy Award for the best student film.
Naum Kleiman, Curator of the Eisenstein Musuem in Moscow, introduces the conclusion of Eisenstein's best-known epic, "Ivan the Terrible"
Part 2 and Part 3 starring Nikolai Cherkassov
The second part of Eisentein's planned trilogy about Tsar Ivan IV - "The Boyars' Plot" - recounts how Ivan returns to Moscow to face his enemies.
Eisenstein was fascinated by colour, and the last section of Part 2 shows the striking way he uses colour to heighten dramatic impact. Only one brief filmed sequence of Part 3 survives. It gives a fascinating insight into the way Eisenstein intended to portray Ivan's progress from megalomania to madness.
(A Russian film with English subtitles. In colour and black and white)

Rothmans Grand Prix Back once again to the Hexagon in Reading for highlights of the day's play, with the game's 'young pretender' Stephen Hendry due to be making his first appearance in the tournament. Hendry, still only 19 but undisputed heir apparent to STEVE DAVIS 'S world number one crown, is defending this title, which he secured last year beating genial Irishman DENNIS TAYLOR 10-7 in a thrilling final. And Hendry is very much a player in form. Just two weeks ago the slightly-built teenager reached the final of the Fosters Professional Championship in Dublin. Out to scupper the youngster's plans to lift the title for the second year running, however, will be an international line-up of snooker stars, including former champion EDDIE CHARLTON from Australia and Englishman MIKE HALLETT currently ranked ninth in the world. The pick of today's pots, snookers, kisses and cannons are introduced by DAVID ICKE with commentary by TED LOWE , JACK KARNEHM and CLIVE EVERTON
