Giuseppe Verdi
Verdi (1813–1901) was a leading Italian composer of opera during the 19th century. Born in Milan, Italy, Verdi is renowned for his remarkable operas, including iconic works such as Rigoletto (1851), Il Trovatore (1853), La Traviata (1853), Don Carlos (1867), Aida (1871), Otello (1887), and Falstaff (1893). His composition, the Requiem Mass (1874), is also widely celebrated.
Verdi’s musical journey began in his early years, receiving lessons and playing the organ as a young prodigy in the village church. He later studied privately with composer Vincenzo Lavigna in Milan, immersing himself in the intellectual and operatic atmosphere of the city. Verdi’s career took off when his opera, Oberto, conte di San Bonifacio, was successfully produced at La Scala in 1839. Despite personal tragedies and setbacks, Verdi’s talent and perseverance led him to create masterpieces like Nabucco (1842) and Macbeth (1847), establishing him as a prominent figure in Italian music.
After a successful career, Verdi retired to his estate in Sant’Agata, devoting his time to farming and philanthropic endeavours. His legacy lives on as one of the greatest composers in the history of opera.
