Rigoletto - 'La donna è mobile' (Verdi; Vittorio Grigòlo, The Royal Opera)

Vittorio Grigòlo sings the famous aria 'La donna è mobile' from Verdi's opera Rigoletto. Find out more at www.roh.org.uk/...
Giuseppe Verdi wrote in 1855 that Rigoletto, based on Victor Hugo’s play Le Roi s’amuse, was his ‘best opera’. He had had to overcome state censorship to stage it - the censors objected to its depiction of an immoral ruler - but he was vindicated by the premiere’s huge success in 1851. Rigoletto was performed 250 times in the next 10 years and has remained one of the most popular of all operas.
David McVicar’s production highlights the cruelty at the heart of the court of Mantua. Richly dressed courtiers engage in orgies and revelries to Verdi’s heady, spirited dances. The opera’s many musical highlights include the ebullient ‘La donna è mobile’, in which the Duke boasts of his disregard for women; Gilda’s exquisite, plangent duets with Rigoletto and the Duke; and the gorgeous Act III quartet that beautifully weaves the voices together as the story quickens to its shattering conclusion.

Surtitle translations of what is being sung are supplied for all opera performances, including those sung in English. The surtitles are displayed on a screen above the stage or on a monitor close to your seat.

[@charliea5641]

Yo, recently watched this opera myself at the HGO and we had a screen above the stage that gave us subtitles of what they were saying and the opera programs they handed out also gave a synopsis for each act. You local opera house may do the same thing.
