The notes Verdi didn’t want us to see will be going online
mainThe Times reports this morning that the custodians of the Verdi estate are handing over 5,300 pages of the composer’s notes to the Italian state archives.
They include 900 pages of notes on Falstaff, including an instruction that reads ‘burn all these documents’.
The trove, which has been the subject of a prolonged dispute among heirs, will now be digitised and be put online.
