Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)

True

Verdi's style is frequently contrasted with that of his German contemporary Richard Wagner. Wagner's plots usually involved larger-than-life, mythological characters whose activities were meant to symbolize underlying philosophical issues. Verdi's plots more often involved real people cast in dramatic, action-filled situations and are notable for their spontaneity and sure sense of effective drama.
