Verdi & Shakespeare

In this episode of 'Classics Unlocked', Graham explores the dynamic between the literary themes of William Shakespeare and the music of Giuseppe Verdi. Verdi took inspiration from the works of Shakespeare three times in his career, once fairly early on ( Macbeth ), and then decades later for his final two operas ( Otello & Falstaff ). He is on record as having expressed deep admiration for Shakespeare, and he read his works from an early age. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
