Music by
GIUSEPPE VERDI
Critical edition by David R.B. Kimbell,
(in preparazione per The University of Chicago Press e Casa Ricordi)
Composed right after the triumph of the Nabucco, the fourth melodramma by Giuseppe Verdi is inspired by the epic poem in fifteen chants written by Tommaso Grossi, published in 1826 and admired by Alessandro Manzoni. The libretto by Temistocle Solera articulates the action in four parts, each one with its own title – La vendetta, L’uomo della caverna, La conversione, Il Santo Sepolcro – giving a charming, epic dimension to the melodrama. On February 11 of 1843, the night of the debut at Teatro alla Scala, the audience acclaimed the new with enthusiasm and transformed the career of Verdi in an unstoppable force.
