edition and score of Le trouvère, Un ballo in Maschera, Juvenilia,
and Lombardi alla prima Crociata by the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi
(1813-1901), and to continue work on four additional Verdi operas: Falstaff, Otello, Romanze, and Les
vêpres siciliennes. (36 months)
The scholarly critical edition of the complete works of Giuseppe Verdi www.verdiedition.org makes available to scholars and performers reliable editions of the music of a major historical figure. It includes operas at the core of the repertory, e.g., Rigoletto, Il trovatore, La traviata, Otello, and Falstaff, as well as the Messa da Requiem and other non-operatic works. Eighteen out of a projected thirty-seven titles are now in print, with two more appearing in 2022-2025 and a target completion year of 2050. Entirely based on original sources, the edition produces musical scores freed from inauthentic interventions that have become the standard for performance and recording worldwide. It also presents detailed histories of the works—from composition, to early performance, to broader cultural influence up to the present day.

The Works of Giuseppe Verdi
Preparation for publication of two volumes of the complete works of Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), and editorial work on seven additional volumes. (12 months)
The Works of Giuseppe Verdi makes available to scholars and performers reliable (critical) editions of the complete works of a major historical figure. The scores are both faithful to the primary sources and suitable for performance. Systematic and detailed graphic differentiation makes clear the precise contents of sources, yet the editors furnish viable score readings that encourage performers to make informed musical choices. The scores have become the standard from which the works of Verdi are performed and recorded; the detailed (often revised) histories of the works furnish greater context through which to understand the place of these works in the broader cultural context. The project upholds a new level of probity in today’s core operatic repertory, a group of works that have previously suffered neglect with regard to accurate textual transmission.

The Works of Giuseppe Verdi
Preparation for publication of three volumes of the complete works of Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), with editorial work on nine additional volumes. (36 months)
The critical edition of the complete works of Giuseppe Verdi is a joint publication of the University of Chicago Press and Casa Ricordi in Milan, which aims to make available to scholars, students, and performers, reliable editions of Verdi's music that are both faithful to the sources and suitable for performance. The works included in the project are at the core of the nineteenth-century operatic repertory, from Rigoletto, Trovatore, and La traviata, to Un ballo in maschera, Otello and Falstaff. Also included are Verdi's Messa da Requiem and other sacred choral works, as well as lesser known vocal and instrumental works, such as the songs and the string quartet, some of which are not available in other editions. Having completed a successful transition in editorial leadership, the project has laid plans for broader dissemination through digital publication, a new series of study-scores in reduced format, and the creation of a new website hosted by the University of Chicago Press.

The Works of Giuseppe Verdi
Preparation of an edition of the complete works of Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). (24 months)
The University of Chicago Press, in cooperation with Casa Ricordi of Milan, has embarked on the first critical edition of the complete works of Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). This critical edition, which has already proven invaluable to musical scholarship as well as to the performance of Verdi's music, is projected to take over forty years to complete. The sequence of work has been organized so as to issue the more famous operas in alternation with lesser-known works, to maintain balanced sales as well as heterogeneity. Furthermore, to facilitate editing and production, the largest and most complex works, particularly the double volumes containing several versions, are scheduled between smaller, less demanding volumes. The edition is being prepared under the general editorship of Philip Gossett and an editorial board that includes seven other Verdi scholars.
