Rigoletto - Richard Williams

Rigoletto enters his own courtyard and here calls for his beloved daughter, Gilda.  They sing of their joy at finally being reunited, after so many years of her life in a convent.  Rigoletto warns her to remain concealed in their home.  She does not reveal to him that she has already fallen in love with a handsome young man she has encountered on her way to church.
