Composer
Verdi
Verdi transformed Italian opera into a theatre driven by character and dramatic momentum, but his tunes could also escape the stage and lodge in public memory. Glenn Miller turns the Il trovatore Anvil Chorus into big-band spectacle, while Uri Caine pulls Otello apart and rebuilds its drama with jazz, electronics and voices.
