Description
Giuseppe Verdi, the popular genius behind "Rigoletto", "Aida" and "La Traviata", continues to enthral audiences with his daring music and stories of love and death. His life was as dramatic and passionate as his music. As this biography shows, he was always fighting: for Italy's freedom and nationhood and for his own artistic freedom against the censors, opera impresario's and the authorities.
Reviews / Votes
'Verdi's extraordinary life makes for compelling reading. Barbara Meier reflects the energy of this man who, more than a century after his death, still dominates the opera repertoire, his familiar tunes whistled and hummed on the street.' -- Petroc Trelawny Radio 3More details
