This month Riccardo Muti makes his Metropolitan Opera debut
conducting Giuseppe Verdi's Attila in a new critical edition prepared by Helen M. Greenwald
(forthcoming in the Works of Giuseppe Verdi published by Ricordi and the University of Chicago Press).
The American Institute of Verdi Studies celebrates the occasion with a symposium devoted
to this exciting opera from Verdi's early period. Four distinguished Verdi scholars
discuss the libretto of Attila, Verdi's creative process, and issues of performance practice
and musical style. The symposium consists of four brief papers followed by a round table
discussion, and is enriched by numerous musical examples.
