Verdi Stiffelio poster

Released in 1993, Verdi Stiffelio is a notable film directed by Elijah Moshinsky, running about 123 minutes. “A Splendid and Satisfying Performance” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Stiffelio is considered "early Verdi" to musiclogists who classify things, but, in reality, it is a final transition between the maestro's earlier (but most enjoyable) works, and the mature craftsmanship of Rigoletto. Preceded by Luisa Miller (q.v.), there is more dramatic intensity and story line than in the earlier works. The plot centers around Stiffelio, a minister, who discovers that his wife, Mina, has been unfaithful.

Who’s in it. Verdi Stiffelio stars José Carreras as Stiffelio, Catherine Malfitano as Lina, Gregory Yurisich as Stankar and Gwynne Howell as Jorg, among others.
