The Verdi Baritone by Geoffrey Edwards
One of the most significant developments in 19th-century Italian opera was the genesis of the Verdi baritone. This book argues that the composer's baritone characters embody "a quintessential humanity, expressing needs and temptations, confusions and understandings, griefs and joys that transcend the particulars of time and place."Singing actors delight when a well-written, practical, and carefully documented source for character development assists their research. . . The Verdi Baritone offers a unique, and uniquely qualified, discourse on a much too often overlooked aspect of the operas.
