Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto is a gripping tale of power, vengeance, and lost innocence, presented here in a carefully curated 2-CD edition. At the center of the drama is the court jester Rigoletto, whose love for his daughter Gilda collides with a world of corruption and cruelty. This recording captures the opera’s most unforgettable highlights, including the haunting “La donna è mobile,” the tender “Caro nome,” and the devastating final scene. A classic collector’s item and a perfect introduction to Verdi’s dramatic genius, this edition delivers emotional intensity with refined presentation.
