Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (1813 – 1901) was an Italian composer and senator best known for his operas.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1868,[2] Giuseppe Verdi was commissioned by Khedive Ismail Pasha of Egypt to compose a new opera for the inauguration of the Khedivial Opera House in Cairo the following year, though due to the Franco-Prussian War it could not be completed in time, with Verdi's Rigoletto being performed instead.[3] The commissioned opera, Aida, would debut in the Opera House two years later, in January 1871.[4]
