This book, 'The Operas of Verdi: Volume 2', is a deep exploration of Giuseppe Verdi's works written during the post-Rossini period. Julian Budden analyzes how Verdi, after exhausting the simple lyricism of 'Il Trovatore' and 'La Traviata', renewed himself by confronting the masters of the Paris Opera with 'Les Vêpres Siciliennes'. The book examines the new scale and variety of musical thought in the Italian operas that followed, culminating in 'La Forza del Destino'. This revised edition offers a comprehensive analysis of Verdi's musical evolution and its impact on the world of opera.
