Giuseppe Verdi was an influential Italian opera composer known for works like Rigoletto. Some key characteristics of his operas included appealing melodies, intense dramatic situations, and innovations that sought to develop a national Italian style. Rigoletto in particular, based on a Victor Hugo play, tells a tragic tale of seduction, deceit and betrayal through musical excerpts like the Duke's famous aria "La donna è mobile" and a dramatic quartet. Verdi also composed his monumental Requiem and helped establish opera as one of the most popular art forms of the 19th century.
