DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Rigoletto was first produced at the Teatro La Fenice, Venice, in 1851, and is generally seen as marking the beginning of Giuseppe Verdi's extraordinary middle period. It was followed in quick succession by Il trovatore and La traviata, and even after the great success of these two works Verdi regarded it as his 'best opera' up to that time. Based on Victor Hugo's play Le Roi s'amuse, which was banned after its premiere in Paris in 1832, the opera faced considerable difficulties with local censors before performance was permitted. In the story of the hunchbacked court jester and his beloved daughter, Verdi believed he had found "e;the greatest subject and perhaps the greatest drama of modern times"e;.The guide contains articles on the place of Rigoletto in Verdi's oeuvre and the background to its composition, a detailed examination of its musical structure and a survey of its performance history including discussions of some of its most distinguished interpreters. A further article highlights aspects of the opera's particularly Italian character. The guide also includes the full Italian libretto with English translation, sixteen pages of illustrations, a musical thematic guide, a bibliography and discography, and DVD and website guides.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Based upon a play by Victor Hugo, author of THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE-DAME and LES MISERABLES, Giuseppe Verdi's 1851 opera RIGOLETTO is a tragedy of Shakespearean caliber set to music. The time is the Renaissance, the place the Italian city of Mantua. The bitter court jester of a libertine Duke fails tragically to shield his innocent daughter from the Duke's advances. Verdi's great score, composed at the start of his prime, includes three of the most famous numbers in Italian opera: "La donna e mobile," "Caro nome," and the Quartet. Audio and video recordings of RIGOLETTO have involved some of the most celebrated operatic conductors, singers, and stage directors of all time: Solti, Sutherland, Pavarotti, Domingo, Gobbi, Callas, Siepi, Ponnelle, and a great many more. Through detailed reviews of the best of these recordings, VERDI'S "RIGOLETTO" A SELECT DISCOGRAPHY WITH COMMENTARY traces the performance history of this riveting and tuneful opera since the 1940s. Illustrated with photographs and Renaissance-themed paintings.
