The operas of Giuseppe Verdi stand at the center of today's operatic repertoire, as they have for more than a century. How the wide appeal and reputation of these oepras spread from Western Europe throughout the world is a story that has long needed to be told. This lastet book by noted Verdi authority George W.Martin details in particular the changing fortunes of Verdi's early operas in the theatres and concert halls of the United States. Among the important works whose fates Martin traces are "Nabucco", "Attila", "Ernani", "Macbeth", "Luisa Miller", and one of Verdi's immortal masterpices: "Rigoletto", denounced in 1860 as the epitome of immorality. Martin also explores the revival of many of those operas in the 1940s and onward as well as the first American productions of some Verdi operas that has never previously maneged to cross the Atlantic. Extensive quotations from newspapers reviews testify to the eventual triumph of these remarkable works, and reveal the crucial cultural shifts in taste and expectations from Verdi's day to our own.
