The Complete Operas of Verdi
by Charles Osborne
If you talk about opera as a complete art form in terms of storytelling and emotional expression, Verdi is the greatest in terms of the combination of all aspects of opera. He understood the voice the best, the house and the art form. The opera house in itself is an instrument. You play on the space between the audience and the stage.
