Rigoletto
by Giuseppe Verdi

  • Act II Chorus-Possente Amore

    The courtiers describe their abduction of Gilda to the Duke.  He is delighted with their practical joke, and suddenly realizes that the woman they believe to be Rigoletto's mistress must be the young woman he has been recently wooing.  He learns she has been brought to his palace and awaits him in his bedroom so he rushes off to make her welcome.
    Duke of Monteron - Sergio Flores
    OPC Chorus

  • Cortigianni, vil razza....

    Rigoletto enters, feigning indifference but desperately seeking signs of the whereabouts of his daughter.  A court page comes looking for the Duke but the courtiers are evasive and Rigoletto suddently realizes where they have taken his daughter and he is greatly distraught.
    Rigoletto - Richard Williams
