The Verdi-Boito Correspondence presents 301 letters between Giuseppe Verdi and his last, most gifted librettist, Arrigo Boito. Documenting an extraordinary chapter in musical history, this definitive English edition of the landmark Carteggio Verdi/Boito features an introduction by Marcello Conati, improvements and updatings to the original edition, an appendix of undated correspondence, and a short closing sketch of Boito's life after the death of his beloved maestro. With a fascinating glimpse of the daily life of European art and artists during the fertile last decades of the nineteenth century, this book is a valuable resource for anyone passionate about opera.
Marcello Conati is one of the world's leading Verdi scholars. Mario Medici was founder and first director of the Istituto Nazionale di Studi Verdiani in Parma. William Weaver (1923-2013) was the award-winning translator of Pirandello, Calvino, and Eco. In addition to translations of Verdi librettos, he published Verdi: A Documentary Study and coedited The Verdi Companion.
