Verdi composed not for the the Italian elite, but for a mass public who's main entertainment was opera.
Giuseppe Verdi is primarily known for his operas, which are often classified as Italian opera rather than grand opera, a style more associated with French composers like Meyerbeer and Gounod. Verdi's works, characterized by their emotional intensity and rich melodies, typically follow the Italian operatic tradition. His major operas, such as "La Traviata" and "Aida," reflect this style, focusing on strong character-driven narratives rather than the spectacle often found in grand opera. So, while Verdi's operas are monumental in their own right, they do not fit the mold of grand opera in the French sense.
Verdi's middle period operas epitomize the soul of not only Verdi, but of Italian Opera. These three operas "set the stage" for what Opera will become as well. They are: Rigoletto Il Trovatore La Traviata
