The photograph above is of the retirement home Verdi built for elderly opera singers. Isn't it marvelous? Verdi and his wife are buried on the grounds.
There was a movie made about the place:
Clearly I need to see Verdi's La Traviata. I don't understand what's going on here at all, but it is still riveting:
When I was checking to see if I had posted Verdi's music before, I found that I had posted about roses named for him.

Had no idea that Verdi was such a kind man. That wonderful retirement home seems like a hoot!
Also interesting was the fact that Tosca's Kiss was a Dustin Hoffman presentation.
And talk about memorable pieces of music...the Anvil Chorus is fantastic.
