Verdi developed on the traditional forms, whereas people like Wagner created revolutionary styles. His works feature the conventional "numbers" approach where overtures, recitatives, arias, ensembles and choruses alternate.

Verdi employed heavy use of bel canto techniques and colourful orchestration. His operas include virtuoso colouratura arias with soaring melodies, spectacular runs and vivid ornamentation.

What is the difference the rights of the women in the time of Shakespeare and now?

The main difference is that a woman's rights used to change dramatically once she married. A married couple was thought of as one undivided thing, and they owned everything they had together. But because St. Paul had said that the man was the head of the household, he basically had all the say in how that property was dealt with. The major blow for equality in property rights for women was when married women were to be treated as single women even after they were married. But this did not happen until the nineteenth century.

How do today's productions of Shakespeare's plays differ from productions during his lifetime?

Lighting. Our electric lighting systems can be controlled electronically and, in a well-equipped theatre, can involve hundreds of powerful lights. This enables us to immediately change from one complicated setting to another, to create narrow spots on the stage, to make scenery through the use of gobos, imitate lightning and other special effects and change the colours of light to suggest the noonday sun, dawn, moonlight, firelight, fluorescent light, or phosphorescence. Shakespeare's stages could only be lit by candlelight or sunlight which would in either case only give a general wash. In some cases, artificial amplification is now available on stage which means that actors will not need to employ natural amplification (projection) to make themselves heard. The result may be a more natural delivery of the lines (although there are other problems with artificial amplification). Other electronic gizmos can also enhance performance, such as the use of prerecorded music, or voices, or projection screens of various kinds. There was none of that in Shakespeare's day. In other ways, our performances now are more like those on the Elizabethan stage than those of the nineteenth century. Modern theatres, especially those designed to perform Shakespeare, increasingly have thrust stages just like the Globe, the Rose and the Fortune did. In the nineteenth century, with their massive and complex setpieces, only a prescenium stage would work.
