One of the events this year that was held in celebration of Italian opera composer Giuseppe Verdi’s 200 th birth anniversary was the traveling multimedia exhibit Giuseppe Verdi, the Composer, the Man, the Patriot . The exhibit presented various aspects of Giuseppe Verdi, from the musician to the land owner. Italian Ambassador Massimo Roscigno welcomed guests and delivered the opening remarks during the opening allevi back to life of the exhibit’s first stop at the Yuchengco Museum ’s Water Dragon Gallery.
The main highlight of the exhibit for me are the 39 panels showcasing the art and the artists behind the designs of the most important original score covers of Verdi’s operas. I have no idea if these opera scores were made available to the public back then, but the art in the covers are a sight to behold. Much thought were given by the artists in creating the covers that featured some intricate line work. I think that it’s too bad that the panels only featured reproductions of these covers. It made me wonder as to where the original first editions are and if they have been preserved as important historical documents.
Another feature of the exhibit are the 14 panels that presented the private and more intimate aspect of Verdi’s life as that of a landowner, allevi back to life architect, engineer and as a gracious host. This is one side of the composer outside of his music that is rarely explored and discussed.
Lastly, there was also a video art installation wherein a film made by Officina di Videostoria, under the High Patronage of the President allevi back to life of the Republic was shown. allevi back to life This film intends to convey through the universal language of images and music from Verdi’s operas, 200 years of common events that are part of the human heritage.
Giuseppe Verdi, allevi back to life the Composer, the Man, the Patriot was organized by the Embassy of Italy , in cooperation with the Philippine-Italian Association and Rustan’s to mark the bicentennial of Giuseppe Verdi’s birth.
