This intensely dramatic work, one of the few non-operatic works that Verdi wrote, was intended as a monument to the great Italian poet and novelist Alessandro Manzoni. The music conveys a great depth of emotion, from its quiet, somber opening to the explosive depiction of God's wrath, and will leave you with a sense of wonder and awe.</FONT><BR></FONT></P></TD> <TD VALIGN="top" STYLE="width:291.85pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; height:27.0pt" ALIGN="CENTER" WIDTH="365"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="../image/200708/january-soloists.JPG" ALT="houston, Lattimore, Eichelberger" ALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="185" HEIGHT="297" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/join-email-small.PNG" BORDER="0" USEMAP="#map2" ALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="43"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY>
