Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) was an Italian composer, best known for his prolific output of operas, though he is also celebrated for his Requiem (1874).
His operas include:
- Rigoletto (1851)
- Il Trovatore (1852)
- La Traviata (1853)
- Un Ballo in Maschera (1859)
- Aida (1871)
The great works, The Requiem, Aida, Otello and Falstaff crowned a staggering musical achievement. When Verdi died in 1901, 28,000 people lined the streets of Milan for his funeral. [1]
