Selby Gardens announces the 11th annual Jean & Alfred Goldstein Exhibition, Verdi: Composer & Farmer, on view February 7, 2027, through May 30, 2027, at the Downtown Sarasota campus. Selby Gardens is thrilled to collaborate with Maestro Victor DeRenzi, former Artistic Director of Sarasota Opera, on this exciting exhibition, which will celebrate the life and legacy of Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi, best known for his operas including Rigoletto, Il trovatore, and La traviata. The exhibition will explore Verdi’s lesser-known love of nature through his activities as a gardener and farmer. As with past shows in the Goldstein Series, the Verdi exhibition will combine a dynamic display of objects and images in the Richard and Ellen Sandor Museum of Botany & the Arts with stunning horticultural vignettes in the Display Conservatory and throughout the gardens of the Downtown Sarasota campus.
