Spanish term

que dio inmensa fama en vida a Verdi

Non-PRO Spanish to English Other Music Opera
El Palau de les Arts, que ha adquirido renombre internacional con la Tetralogía de Richard Wagner en montaje de La Fura dels Baus y dirección musical de Zubin Mehta, abre la temporada 2010-2011el 13 de noviembre próximo con uno de los títulos más célebres del repertorio: Aida, de Giuseppe Verdi. Después de haber puesto en escena Simon Boccanegra, Don Carlo y La traviata, ahora ofrece el título **que dio inmensa fama en vida a Verdi**. Aida, encargada con motivo de la inauguración del Canal de Suez, se estrenó la Nochebuena de 1871 en El Cairo, dos años después de la inauguración formal. Verdi escogió la historia del egiptólogo Auguste Mariette, plasmada en el libreto de Antonio Ghislanzoni y Camille du Locle, sobre los amores con final trágico del capitán egipcio Radamès con una esclava etíope, que en realidad es la princesa Aida.

which brought Verdi great fame during his lifetime

A question of collocation to make this feel natural.

Great fame sits better together than immense fame. Bring fame rather than give fame.
