Giuseppe Verdi, Italian Composer

Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (October 9 or 10 1813 - January 27, 1901) was an Italian Romantic composer primarily known for his operas. He dominated the Italian opera scene after the eras of Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini. His works are frequently performed in opera houses throughout the world and, transcending the boundaries of the genre, some of his themes have long since taken root in popular culture. Verdi was one of the first composers to insist on patiently seeking out plots to suit his particular talents. Verdi was one of the first composers to insist on patiently seeking out plots to suit his particular talents. Orchestral and contrapuntal innovation is characteristic of his style and so distinctive that other composers do not use them; they remain, to this day, some of Verdi's signatures. he suffered a stroke in January 1901, gradually grew more feeble and died nearly a week later, at the age of 87. Arturo Toscanini conducted the vast forces of combined orchestras and choirs composed of musicians from throughout Italy at Verdi's funeral service in Milan. To date, it remains the largest public assembly of any event in the history of Italy.
