Ouverture-En 1854 Giuseppe Verdi réside à Paris et se consacre à la composition des Vêpres Siciliennes (I Vespri Siciliani) une œuvre de commande pour l?Opéra de Paris. Très rapidement il se montre agacé par les exigences du « Grand Opéra français » qui lui impose de lourdes contraintes. Il déclare alors : « Lorsque j?aurai fini Les Vêpres Siciliennes je serai un homme heureux. Composer un opéra pour l?Opéra de Paris est aussi harassant que de tuer un bœuf. Cinq heures de musique ? ? Pouh ! ». Après la première de l?opéra Hector Berlioz écrivit dans un article pour le Journal des Débats : « Il faut bien reconnaître que la profonde intensitéde l?expression mélodique la somptueuse diversité de l?orchestration l?ampleur et la poésie du son d?ensemble la vivacité chaleureuse qui rayonne à travers toute l?œuvre et la force passionnée bien qu?elle se dévoile lentement - un des éléments caractéristiques du style de Verdi - donnent aux Vêpres Siciliennes une grandeur une impression de souveraineté majestueuse encore plus marquante que dans toutes les productions lyriques précédentes de Verdi. » Dans l?Ouverture véritable chef-d?œuvre d?impétuosité on trouve la fraîcheur et la puissance des premières heures du risorgimento italien.
