Verdi Opera
They say that there is nothing quite like a Verdi opera, and this is very much true. The timelessness of the themes (while the settings, of course, may changes) Verdi had chosen have, in their own ways, immortalized the each Verdi opera that we still listen to today. It is most certain that while you have likely not heard of all the Verdi operas (that is, unless you are a student of music who has a specific focus on the works of Verdi) it is very likely that you would have at least heard of the Verdi opera “Rigoletto” or the Verdi opera “La Traviata”. That is not to say that there is nothing but glowing reviews of the Verdi operas – some critics, likely scholars who have a preference for styles that are quite different from those that became popular during the romantic era of music, find a Verdi opera a little bit too melodramatic for their tastes, and perhaps think of the melodies not quite as textured as one would expect of a man writing of those themes. That being said, however, it may very well be that these things are what makes a Verdi opera successful.
In this section of the site, we will be providing you with a listing of every Verdi opera that is still available to us, complete with plots and the list of tracks in the opera.
