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.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 196mmItem Length: 130mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 184gAuthor: Garry WillsGenre: Poetry & DramaTopic: Literary CriticismType: StylesRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
