When the wife of a Protestant preacher is an adulterer, problems are inevitable from the outset of Verdi's Stiffelio. Even today the finale seems astonishingly bold: superficially it deals with forgiveness and reconciliation, but the orchestral writing is in such striking contrast that Verdi appears to toll the death knell of the protagonists' marriage.
