Verdi's relationship with Shakespeare's theater unfolds over the course of a long career studded with completed projects, such as Macbeth, Othello and Falstaff and others long pursued but never realized, such as Hamlet, The Tempest, King Lear . The first opportunity to try his hand at a subject by the English playwright came thanks to Alessandro Lanari, impresario of the Teatro della Pergola in Florence, who commissioned the composer to write a new opera for the 1847 Carnival season.
