Verdi’s RIGOLETTO, IL TROVATORE, and LA TRAVIATA transformed the art form of opera and have been ultra-popular for over 150 years. Seattle Opera’s Maestro Carlo Monatanaro, Assistant Conductor Phil Kelsey, General Director Aidan Lang, and Music Librarian Emily Cabaniss discuss with Jonathan Dean Verdi the great composer, great Italian, and great human. Plus, Montanaro shares his perspective from the podium on the magic that makes for a great night of opera.
