Giuseppe Verdi: A Life in Opera

Previously

He understood, with a clarity born of immense pain, that art could not erase sorrow, but it could give it form, give it voice, and in doing so, offer a path towards healing, not just for himself, but for a nation. The devastating setbacks, the crushing personal tragedies, had threatened to silence him forever.
