Giuseppe Verdi was born in 1813 near Parma, in
Italy. Of humble origins, but not as much as he
was pleased to claim it, he is taking his first steps
in music with the village organist. Talented,
he leaves for Milan where his contacts allow him to
produce his first opera in 1839, Oberto. the
success is such that he gets a contract for three more
operas, including Nabucco (1842) which triumphed at La Scala.
Between 1851 and 1853, Verdi created his "popular trilogy",
with the three masterpieces Rigoletto, Le trouvère and
La traviata, which further reinforce its popularity. After
several years spent in Paris, he tried his hand at
opera with Les vêpres siciliennes in 1855. Will follow
six other operas, including Aida, premiered in 1871. In his
recent years, he has produced two major works, Otello
(1887) and Falstaff (1893), before dying in Milan
in 1901. Both during his lifetime and posthumously, the
notoriety of Verdi in the lyrical world remains unequaled

Giuseppe Verdi naît en 1813 près de Parme, en
Italie. D’origine modeste, mais pas autant qu’il
s’est plu à le prétendre, il fait ses premiers pas
en musique auprès de l’organiste du village. Talentueux,
il part pour Milan où ses contacts lui permettent de
faire produire son premier opéra en 1839, Oberto. Le
succès est tel qu’il obtient un contrat pour trois autres
opéras, dont Nabucco (1842) qui triomphe à la Scala.
Entre 1851 et 1853, Verdi créée sa «trilogie populaire»,
avec les trois chefs-d’œuvre Rigoletto, Le trouvère et
La traviata, qui confortent encore sa popularité. Après
plusieurs années passées à Paris, il s’essaie au grand
opéra avec Les vêpres siciliennes en 1855. Suivront
six autres opéras, dont Aida, créé en 1871. Dans ses
dernières années, il signe deux grandes œuvres, Otello
(1887) et Falstaff (1893), avant de s’éteindre à Milan
en 1901. De son vivant comme à titre posthume, la
notoriété de Verdi dans le monde lyrique reste inégalée
