Verdi - Rigoletto - Silvestrelli/ Servile
A filmed stage performance of the famed opera by Giuseppe Verdi. The story takes place in the city of Mantua and outskirts in the sixteenth century. The Duke of Mantua is hosting a feast at his palace and casting his eyes over every woman there. He tells his courtier Borsa that he has also seen a young girl in the church whom he means to have. Count Ceprano is leaving the party with his wife, when the Duke turns his attention to her, in front of her jealous husband, who is cruelly mocked by Rigoletto, the court jester. Another courtier, Marullo, rushes in with a fine new joke it appears that the ugly, deformed Rigoletto is keeping a mistress. The Duke and Rigoletto openly discuss how to deal with the troublesome Ceprano shall he be exiled or beheaded? Ceprano conspires with Marullo, Borsa and the other courtiers to take revenge on the jester who has made all of them the butt of his vicious jokes. The feast is interrupted by the arrival of Monterone, a nobleman whose daughter has already been seduced and abandoned by the Duke. Rigoletto taunts him mercilessly and the Duke orders Monterone's arrest. Monterone damns them both, hurling a curse on the jester who can make sport of a father's grief. Rigoletto is on his way home, deeply troubled by Monterone's curse, when he meets Sparafucile, a hired killer. Sparafucile has been watching Rigoletto's house, and knows that Rigoletto keeps a woman there. He guesses that the jester must be a man with rivals and enemies, and so offers his services. Rigoletto sends him away, but ascertains where and when he can find him in the future. It is not Rigoletto's mistress but his daughter, Gilda, who lives in the house, and she rushes into his arms as he enters. Meanwhile the Duke is skulking in the shadows outside, disguised in poor clothes. When Rigoletto leaves, Giovanna (the housekeeper who is already in the Duke's pay) lets the Duke in disguise into the courtyard. He passionately declares his love for Gilda, and she - though at first terrified - gradually gives in to him. He tells her his name is Gualtier Malde, and that he is only a poor student. Then the Duke hears footsteps outside and, fearing that it is Rigoletto returning, leaves. The footsteps belong, however, to Marullo and Borsa, and as Gilda repeats the name of her lover over and over to herself in rapture, they are joined by Ceprano and the other courtiers. They have come to abduct the girl they believe to be Rigoletto's mistress. But at that moment Rigoletto himself appears. Marullo hushes the others, and manages to convince Rigoletto that it is the wife of Ceprano they have come to kidnap from the palace across the street. Under the cover of the pitch black night, they blindfold Rigoletto and confuse him into holding the ladder by which they break into his own house and emerge dragging Gilda. Rigoletto doesn't hear her distant screams, but touching his face he discovers Marullo's trick and then the empty house. In anguis
