Download or read book Don Carlos written by Giuseppe Verdi and published by Alma Classics. This book was released on 1992 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide contains the text of the opera, with English translations. It also presents the evidence that "Don Carlos" was an extraordinary achievement in melding two opposing visions of opera: the spectacular public aspect of the French tradition with the dramatic concision of the Italian. And because of the variety of versions which Verdi sanctioned, this debate is open-ended.
