The Complete Operas of Verdi is the first full-length study of all
of Verdi's operas. This work of the brilliant British music critic
Charles Osborne covers Verdi's complete operatic oeuvre--including
the missing choral works, songs, a string quartet, and the Messa da
Requiem. The operas of Shakespeare's Falstaff and Othello show how
the legendary composer added both depth and dignity to the Italian
operatic repertoire. In this volume, every Verdi opera is explored
from four points of view: Verdi's life at the time each was
written; the story, and the way it links with the music; the
libretto and librettist, and Verdi's relations with his publishers;
and the music itself, analyzed with examples from the score.
