Giuseppe Verdi was een sleutelfiguur in de 19e-eeuwse Italiaanse romantische opera. Zijn werken, vaak gekenmerkt door melodramatische flair, verwierven wereldwijde erkenning, en veel van zijn melodieën nestelden zich diep in de populaire cultuur. Ondanks af en toe kritiek op zijn melodische idiom, vormen Verdi's meesterwerken nog steeds de basis van het operarepertoire.
