Description

This scholarly investigation reveals new perspectives on Giuseppe Verdi's attitudes towards women and their crucial roles throughout his life and career. The book examines Verdi's professional and personal relationships with two exceptional singers who shaped his creative journey: Giuseppina Strepponi, who supported and enhanced his artistry during the formative stages of his professional life, and Teresa Stolz, who sustained his sense of self-worth in his later years. Set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Italian society and the traditional socio-sexual structure of patria potesta, this Routledge publication explores how these women transcended conventional boundaries and influenced one of opera's greatest composers. Through detailed analysis, the book contextualises women's changing status in Italian society whilst illuminating Verdi's complex personal and professional world.
