THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies
Synopsis Giuseppe Verdi and Charles Gounod, two great opera composers, had a very sparse personal relationship, despite being contemporaries. The former said of Gounod: “He is a great musician, but he has no dramatic substance”, while the latter commented on Verdi: “He is not only an illustrious composer, but a clever businessman”. Verdi had a life full of triumphs for his numerous works -among them La Traviata and Aida-. Gounod, in turn, is remembered today for his Ave Maria and two splendid operas: Faust and Romeo and Juliet.
