In the final session, we explore the alignment of Verdi’s late period with Wagner’s operas, such as
Das Rheingold (1869) and
Parsifal (1882). Although Wagner has long been considered the innovator and revolutionary, Verdi displays these qualities in his own powerful and original way in the operas
Don Carlo (1867),
Otello (1887) and
Falstaff (1893). Verdi’s use of the orchestra, so evident in these late works, will sum up the impressive achievements of these complex and brilliant masterpieces.
