Description

It used to be thought that Verdi miscalculated with this attempt at a &quote;grand opera&quote; 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.Contents: A Grand Opera with a Difference, Julian Budden; Off the Beaten Track, Gilles de Van; &quote;A Family Portrait in a Royal Household&quote;: 'Don Carlos' from Schiller to Verdi, F.J.
