This coIorfuIIy filmed drama of the Iife and Ioves of the great composer, Guiseppe Verdi, is pIayed against a background of the great operas of the 19th Century. A tender love story of Verdi's successfuI and turbuIent Iife, we hear more than 20 excerpts from Rigoletto, La Traviata, OteIlo, Aida, ll Trovatore, Nacbucco and many other operas. They are beautifulIy sung by internationaI opera stars Tito Gobbi, Mario DeI Monaco and Orietta Moscucci; and accompanied by the Rome Opera Orchestra.
The Patriarch of ItaIian opera began his career with the beI canto composers and ended it as a contemporary of Debussy and Richard Strauss. Verdis' opera voiced his Iiberal views by making biting social and poIiticaI comment, often brining him into conflict with the censors. The 26 operas that he composed have become a permanent part of our musicaI heritage.
The nostaIgic Iook at Verdi: the King of MeIody, paints a romantic picture of the composer’s struggle for success, his loves, and his musicaI triumph over the forces of poIiticaI domination. Poignant and tender, fiIled with pathos, it is heart-rending in both its sad moments as weIl as in its times of joy. A theatrical and criticaI success when the feature fiIm was reIeased in the US in 1974, Verdi: The King of Melody,will touch your heart.
