Verdi Death Report and Career Overview

A chaotic bulletin from Rome and Milan conflicted over Verdi’s condition, later stating he was still alive but slowly sinking. Born 1810 in Roncole Parma, he rose from organist to famed composer, with early support from Signor Barezzi and Merelli, who urged him to write operas. His breakthrough came with Nabucco, followed by Nebuchadnezzar, Ernani, La Traviata, Otello, and Rigoletto, among others, with Strepponi as his second wife after the early loss of family. A separate note notes Mrs. Mary O’Brien of this city as a cousin of Queen Victoria.
