Rigoletto Verdi

Public

Approved

Opera Rigoletto, Giuseppea Verdija, praizvedena 1851. u venecijanskom
kazalištu La Fenice, jedna je od najizvođenijih opera toga talijanskog
skladatelja. Za sadržaj opere Verdi se nadahnuo dramom Kralj se zabavlja
(Le roi s’amuse) francuskog pisca Viktora Hugoa. Lik dvorske lude privukao
je Verdija koji će ga učiniti protagonistom opere. O samoj drami Verdi
govori – Možda će to biti najveća drama modernoga teatra, a protagonist
je karakter dostojan Shakespearea. Za libreto se obratio svome vjernom
libretistu Francescu Mariji Piaveu s kojim je već više puta surađivao,
no, austrijskoj cenzuri siže je bio odvratno amoralan, opscen i trivijalan.
Ujedno, bilo je nemoguće odobriti operu u kojoj je glavni lik kralj, pa
Verdi smješta radnju na razvratni dvor vojvode od Mantove, a glavni lik,
ali i naslov opere postaje dvorska luda kojoj daje ime Rigoletto, prema
francuskoj riječi rigoler (glasno se smijati, izrugivati). U toj slavnoj operi
jedna arija je postala popularna od prvoga izvođenja, a to je arija koju
pjeva nemoralni vojvoda — La donna é mobile (Žena je varljiva). Ljubavna
tragedija Rigolettove jedinice Gilde okosnica je ovog remek-djela operne
umjetnosti koje se nakon više od petnaest godina ponovno izvodi na sceni
Hrvatskoga narodnog kazališta u Zagrebu. Maestro Pier Giorgio Morandi je
dirigent, a redatelj je Francesco Maestrin

The opera Rigoletto, by Giuseppe Verdi, premiered in 1851 in the Venetian
theater La Fenice, is one of the most performed operas by that Italian
composer. For the content of the opera, Verdi was inspired by the play
Le roi s'amuse by the French writer Victor Hugo. The character of the court madman attracted
Verdi, who would make him the protagonist of the opera. Verdi
talks about the play itself - Perhaps it will be the greatest play of modern theater, and the protagonist
is a character worthy of Shakespeare. For the libretto, he turned to his faithful
librettist Francesco Maria Piave, with whom he had already collaborated several times,
but the Austrian censor found it disgustingly amoral, obscene and trivial.
At the same time, it was impossible to approve an opera in which the main character is a king, well
Verdi places the action in the debauched court of the duke of Mantua, and the main character,
as well as the title of the opera, becomes the court jester whom he names Rigoletto, after
the French word rigoler (to laugh loudly, to mock). In that famous opera,
one aria became popular from the first performance, and that is the aria
sung by the immoral duke — La donna é mobile (The woman is deceitful). The love
tragedy of Rigoletto's unit Gilda is the backbone of this masterpiece of operatic
art, which after more than fifteen years is being performed again on the stage
of the Croatian National Theater in Zagreb. Maestro Pier Giorgio Morandi is
the conductor, and Francesco Maestrin is the director
