"Riveting . . . a double-barreled salvo that hits two bull's-eyes." —
The New York Times Book Review
This dazzling study of the three operas that Giuseppe Verdi adapted from Shakespeare's plays takes readers on a wonderfully engaging journey through opera, music, literature, history, and the nature of genius.
Verdi's Shakespeare
explores the writing and staging of
Macbetto
(
Macbeth
),
Otello
Othello
), and
Falstaff
, operas by Verdi, an Italian composer who could not read a word of English but who adored Shakespeare. Delving into the fast-paced worlds of these men and the hands-on life of the stage that at once challenged them and gave flight to their brilliance, Wills, in his inimitable way, illuminates the birth of artistic creation.
