Verdi 200 Years
A ranking of the
top-15 greatest composers of all time sees
Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) as n° 10 - in the heels of Chopin, Liszt and Brahms.
"Italy’s greatest
opera composer, Verdi’s operatic output is
staggering, with 28 operas, many of which
contain arias that have made their ways into
popular culture and become mainstays."
"Verdi's
mature period produced Nabucco, Ernani,
Macbeth (after Shakespeare), Luisa
Miller, Rigoletto, Il Trovatore, La Traviata, Un
Ballo in Maschera, Don Carlo, his most
famous work: Aida, Otello, and
Falstaff."
