Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)
Part Two
Donald Macleod looks at some of the personalities who were instrumental in helping Verdi achieve success.
2/5. Giuseppina Strepponi
The opera singer Giuseppina Strepponi was one of Verdi's most loyal supporters. Despite the difficulties her tarnished reputation caused the couple, their relationship endured for half a century. Verdi relied on her steady emotional support, advice over singers and her ability to deal with all his professional matters including tactfully negotiating disputes with colleagues and friends.

Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray and Francis Picabia
Philip Dodd visits a new exhibition at Tate Modern in London with famous artworks by three pioneering figures from 20th century art.
They are Marcel Duchamp, the artist who controversially first displayed a urinal in a gallery; Man Ray, who invented solarised surrealist photography; and the dada poet Francis Picabia.
How and why did these artists become so influential that many would claim they changed the course of art history?
