About the film
Giuseppe Verdi, Italy’s most admired and best-known composer, creator of repertoire masterpieces such as Nabucco, Aida and the world-famous Requiem Mass (sometimes referred to as "Verdi’s most beautiful opera") died in Milan, Italy, on the 27th of January 1901.
On the occasion of the centennial of his death, EuroArts produced a documentary (written by Peter Beringer and directed by Felix Breisach) about his life and music. The program is hosted by Thomas Hampson, eloquent and world-famous baritone. The footage was shot on locations in Italy (e.g. Milan, Venice) and France (Paris).

What a beautiful production! Everything about this documentary is excellent! Thank you so much for this very educational and entertaining biography of maestro Verdi's life. His legacy cannot be overestimated, he left us a vast treasure of magnificent music! I hope many more people will get to hear and love it, too! "Va, pensiero", this majestic chorus with such painful yearning for the fatherland, speaks to every heart that has ever earned for its faraway home. Bravo, Signore Verdi! Thank you for your splendid operas. Thank you, Mr. Hampson for this excellent film. I really admire your performances of the most poignant arias, with the majestic architecture of Italy being the best setting for Verdi's immortal music.

Thank you for this beautiful documentary. I was named after his opera Aida (and I’m not Italian), so Verdi has always been close to my heart. And in high school I performed Va Pensiero with my school chorus. Many years ago. Beautiful memories.

Here is the best topic for a Hollywood movie worthy an Oscar award but more than an Oscar winning prize, getting seven billion dollars profits like Avatar fantasy should be much better, try to guess how much l would love to donate such an important figure an artistic TV network like yours, time to move on guys. During the Covid pandemic only phones were a successful business, let us know as fans, your phone dealers how much do they spend for such investments, for such movie productions, let's create jobs giving young artists the chance to work on important projects, not that much a Verdi's kind of biographic movie but ...someone who did not like him much, the dark side of a story is always more intrigui exciting creepy and nobody could ever skip it. A stalker, a loser, a guy filled of envy, a death threat behind a big genius composer is always a great fun to see things from the other side, think about it guys. Music unites us so well, we become partners in business if we like it or not, let's make some money then, let's make these golden mine worthy, think about it Ok?

Was Verdi lucky? Compare lives (and, more unfairly, deaths) of Mozart, Schubert, and even Beethoven, to Verdi's (or Wagner's, for that matter.) Life is unfair.

@carlobrotto7132 7 ай бұрын

Pointless bizarre comment : life is unfair that's a truth widely known, unfair also to Verdi who lost in few months his two little kids and his wife...I wouldn't pick wagner as example : he had even more luck for being ranked a major composer though his music is dulling & awful, not mentioning his work totally lacking of artistic spirit.

Thomas Hampson is a wannabe Verdi baritone

@josephdiluzio6719 Жыл бұрын

Sorry to be discordant but I strongly disagree about Thomas Hampson's voice: it's absence of baritone Timbre, lack of true Italian legato, all exacerbated by a weak upper register can be clearly heard in his rendition of " O Vecchio Cor."
