Don Carlos - English National Opera Guide 46

Don Carlos - English National Opera Guide 46 $22.99

Giuseppe Verdi

Published by John Calder Publications

English National Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera, providing stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text of each opera in English and the original

It used to be thought that Verdi miscalculated with this attempt at a "grand opera" in the French style

This guide demonstrates that Don Carlos was and remains an extraordinary achievement in melding two opposing visions of opera: the spectacular public aspect of the French tradition with the dramatic concision of the Italian

And because of the variety of versions which Verdi sanctioned, this debate is open-ended
