Giuseppe Verdi schuf, angeregt von seinem großen Vorbild William Shakespeare, 1847 eine in weiten Teilen experimentelle Partitur, die die Fesseln der bis dahin respektierten überkommenen Form sprengte. Anstatt den Stoff wie üblich für die Opernbühne zuzuschneiden, passte der Komponist die musikalische Form dem Drama an, dem er möglichst genau zu entsprechen versuchte. Daraus entstand ein packendes Stück Musiktheater von düsterer Färbung. 1865 überarbeitete Verdi das frühe Werk für eine Aufführung am Théâtre lyrique in Paris und gab ihm seine endgültige Form.

Deutsch

In 1847 Verdi wrote, inspired by his idol William Shakespeare, a largely experimental score, which broke the shackles of hitherto time-honoured forms. Instead of tailoring the subject matter for the stage, as was usual, the composer made his music fit the play, which he tried to mirror as closely as possible. This resulted in a thrilling, sombre opera.
