Verdi bicentennial: Remembering a master (2)

Verdi was primarily inspired by dramatists, adapting three of Shakespeare’s plays, and four of Friedrich Schiller’s works, into operas.

2013 has witnessed the revivial of a multitude of Verdi’s operas, including the first ever performance of "Rigoletto" in Bahrain, and a series of acclaimed productions by the Metropolitan Opera in New York. London’s Royal Opera House, the Sydney Opera House, and the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing have all paid tribute to the composer. Italian conductors Daniele Abbado, Ricardo Muti and baritone Leo Nucci are all revisiting Verdi’s in celebration of the 200th anniversary of one of Italy’s most famous sons.
