Subsequently, he began studying under Vincenzo Lavigna, a famous composer from Milan. In 1832, Verdi applied for admission at the Milan Conservatory, but was rejected due to his age. There, he began studying musical composition. Verdi first developed musical talents at a young age, after moving with his family from Le Roncole to the neighboring town of Busseto. His mother, Luigia Uttini, worked as a spinner, and his father, Carlo Giuseppe Verdi, made a living as a local inkeeper. Early Lifeįamed composer Giuseppe Verdi was born Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi on October 9 or 10, 1813, in the community of Le Roncole, near Busseto in the province of Parma, Italy. Verdi died on January 27, 1901, in Milan, Italy. Additionally, his rejection of the traditional Italian opera for integrated scenes and unified acts earned him fame. Verdi produced many successful operas, including La Traviata, Falstaff and Aida, and became known for his skill in creating melody and his profound use of theatrical effect.

Production of the Teatro Real in coproduction with Abu Dhabi Festival, based on the original of the Teatro Real in 1998 Premiere at the Teatro Real, 12 december 1874 Premiere at the Opera of Cairo, 24 december 1871 Libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni, based on a script (1869) by Auguste Mariette and Camille du Locle Nearly a quarter of a century after its premiere in 1998, these are precisely the reasons that validate this historic production by Hugo de Ana in an updated revival that demonstrates once again - at the risk of sounding redundant - its perennial actuality. Far from giving in to the mundane plot, a characteristic of the genre, this master piece and defining moment for Verdi, converted all the crowd scenes into an integral part of the drama - and not just an extravaganza - and instilled its characters with a fire that reaches solar temperatures in the last act before melting in a loving embrace of resignation and oblivion.Īny production that attempts to reach the stature of this work must get around challenges which are no less thorny: that the drama shines over and above the spectacle, and that the passions release their red-hot glow without being consumed in the macabre flames of melodrama. One of the greatest ironies of the French grand opéra - the absolute spectacle of early Romanticism - is that its legacy has come down to us, on the whole, via foreign alternatives such as Aida, whose premiere in Cairo in 1871 was surrounded by all the paraphernalia of grand geopolitical conclaves.
