Reprise

The Visitors rise and applaud, shouting, “Bravo! Encore!”
The Conductor bows and fingers the Concert Master.
The CM, who resembles Tony without a powdered wig, motions the orchestra to stand.

Art leaps from the prompter’s box, whistling loudly.
The Author remains humble as the curtain descends.

Joe, Art and Tony reprise Il trovatorè
