Episode notes
Verdi the dramatist of the human voice—turning private feeling into public theater from Rigoletto, Il trovatore, La traviata to Aida, Otello, Falstaff; choruses that fueled the Risorgimento, recitatives cut to the bone, arias that argue, forgive, and refuse to forget—crowned by a Requiem that prays like opera and thunders like history.
