About Verdi’s Opera
Verdi's famous opera was inspired by A. Dumas's novel The Lady with Camellias, and the story of the beautiful courtesan Violetta and her futile desire to break free from the conventions of contemporary society has been moving listeners for more than 150 years. Verdi's immensely impressive music romantically idealizes Violetta's unhappy love for Alfredo and appeals, more than theatrically, primarily with deep and emotional lyrics.

The dramatic charge of the story of the Ethiopian princess Aida and the Egyptian warrior Radam arises from the inner conflict of a woman who must decide between loyalty to her homeland and love for a man who belongs to the oppressors of her nation. Radames also finds himself torn between love and duty when he finally betrays his country for Aida. Aida is considered by some music connoisseurs to be the peak of Verdi's opera work.

For this musically fascinating, dark drama of passion, betrayal and revenge, Giuseppe Verdi found the theme in the play Le Roi s'amuse (The King is Amusing) by the famous French playwright and poet Victor Hugo. The tragic story of the court jester and hunchback Rigoletto, who, with mockery on his lips and with anguish in his soul, knows well the wrongness of his service to the debauched duke, and that is why he so deeply experiences the curse that has fallen on his head. After the world premiere, people in the streets sang the duke's cynical song "La donne è mobile" (Oh how changeable is the heart of a woman) and it was clear to Verdi that he had written an operatic hit!

Unbridled ambition, unrestrained desire for power and mysterious prophecies are the ingredients of a psychological opera thriller, the subject of which was given to Verdi by the famous playwright William Shakespeare. In Macbeth, the composer began the journey towards music drama, in which singing is subordinated to the dramatic situation and reflects the psychology and inner feelings of the characters, and the dramatic content is much more important here than bel canto or "beautiful singing".
