La Roncole, Italy (1813 – 1901)

Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (La Roncole, Italy, October 10, 1813 – Milano, January 27, 1901) is considered the most influential composer of the 19th century’s Italian School of opera. His works are frequently performed in opera houses throughout the world and, transcending the boundaries of the genre, some of his themes have long since taken root in popular culture - such as “La donna è mobile” from Rigoletto. Oftentimes scoffed at by the critics, in his lifetime and today, as catering to the tastes of the common folk, overly simple in chromatic texture and shamelessly melodramatic, Verdi’s masterpieces dominate the standard repertoire a century and a half after their composition.

I can't choose between the Verdi and the Mozart for my favourite Requiem Mass. Lucky for me there's absolutely no need for me too. <3 them both.

when some orchestra or symphony plays this artist it shows up in his [b]Events[/b], so the system marks it as ON TOUR.
