Synopsis

Rigoletto, Giuseppe Verdi’s first opera of the trilogy that includes Il Trovatore and La Traviata, is without a doubt one of the most popular operas of all time. It contains some of the world’s best-known music, including the aria “La donna e mobile,” and the major-key theme from the Quartet, which Kobbe describes “…the finest piece of concerted music in Italian Opera.”

In the 1550s Mantua, the Duke (Alvarez), a celebrated ladies man, seduces Gilda (Mula), the beautiful daughter of his sharp-tongued jester, Rigoletto (Servile). Vowing revenge, her furious father hires Sparafucile, a notorious assassin, to avenge his family’s honor, a decision that will end in tragedy for all concerned.

A great OPERA!!!!!!

Helen Sterling (mozartinehelen@yahoo.com) wrote on 01/11/2006:

A very special presentation of Verdi's timeless masterpiece with stars as the award-winning tenor Roberto Sevile. The Toscanini Foundation Orchestra is conducted by Keri Lynn Wilson, and the elaborate, original costumes were designed by Vivienne Westwood. The italian home production Roadhouse-Movie did a great job with Riagoletto Story in Dvd.
