Rigoletto at Oper Leipzig
演出简介
Experience the magic of Le roi s'amuse, the masterpiece of the great composer Giuseppe Verdi at the Leipzig Opera House.
'Le roi s'amuse', translated into Spanish as El rey se amierte, is the acclaimed work of French Victor Hugo from Giuseppe Verdi's most popular opera. Composed by Giuseppe Verdi, it is the work that pushed him to the definitive popularity ‐although he had already reaped some previous achievements such as Nabucco, Ernani or Macbeth-.
The opera premiered at the Teatro de la Fenice in 1851 and has been a great success since its premiere. Based on the work of the Frenchman Victor Hugo, 'Le roi s'amuse' had great problems with censorship because it was considered immoral and obscene. After a tug‐of‐war between the censors and the composer, he managed to maintain the fundamentals of the work, changing the location of the French work to the dukedom of Mantua and other minor things.
For his personal amusement and that of his decadent court, the Duke of Mantua employs Rigoletto, his hunchbacked court jester. In anticipatory obedience, Rigoletto serves his master's need for vulgar entertainment, not refusing to present his employer who seeks pleasure with the daughters of the noble society on a silver platter. At home, he is a devoted father, who protects his daughter Gilda from the darkest side of humanity with a strong hand. But Rigoletto's double life condemns him when Gilda falls in love with the Duke, disguised as a young student. The Duke's frivolous laddish canzone ('La donna è mobile') becomes a death omen for Rigoletto. Anthony Pilavachi achieved national attention in the public as well as in the press as director of the Ring des Nibelungen in Lübeck, and now turns his attention to this part of the so‐called Popolare Trilogy for Leipzig in the Verdi Year.
