The 19th-century opera Rigoletto, inspired by Hugo's satirical work, was composed by the famous opera composer Verdi and premiered in Venice in 1851. The quartet, "Praise Your Goddess of Love," is taken from Act IV, while Act III features the popular tenor solo "Women Are Fickle."
The story focuses on one of the courtiers, Rigoletto, who will stop at nothing to curry favor with the court nobles, especially the Duke of Mantua, in order to make a living. The Duke of Mantua was an amorous man who took pleasure in playing with feminine feelings. In order to please him, Rigoletto did not hesitate to sacrifice the bottom line, and even helped the duke seduce the wives and daughters of the courtiers, which caused the dissatisfaction of the courtiers.
However, Rigoletto's most precious daughter, Gill, reached the problem. Despite his efforts to protect her from going out, the secret was discovered by the courtiers, who designed to have Rigoletto give his daughter to the Duke of Mantua without his knowledge.
When Rigoletto realized that his daughter was in danger, he became angry and asked the courtiers for help, but was refused. So, he looks for a killer and tries to avenge by letting the killer's sister seduce the duke, let his daughter witness the duke's betrayal, and then let the killer assassinate the duke.
However, things did not go as he had hoped. When he performed an autopsy, he heard the Duke's singing. He opened it and found that his daughter Gilda was lying there, taking the place of the Duke as a victim. Gilda sacrificed her life to protect the Duke, and the killer's sister Madeleine also chose to betray the deal.
The whole opera is full of tragic and satirical elements, which are thought-provoking. Verdi deeply portrays the character and emotional changes of the characters through music, adding drama to the work.
Liszt's adaptation of this opera is to break through the constraints of musical creation, tap the potential of the piano, and express his personal style. With talent and innovative spirit, he composed the piano arrangement of Rigoletto, which fully demonstrated the expressive power of the piano.
Liszt skillfully used the language of the piano to deeply portray the characters in the opera. Through music, he expresses the personalities and emotions of the Duke, Madelena, Gilda and Rigoletto. The musical language in the piano arrangement vividly shows the inner world of each character, allowing the audience to feel the deep emotional conflict and dramatic tension.
The piano arrangement of this opera not only retains the essence of the original work, but also presents the story more vividly to the audience through the expressiveness of the piano, showing Liszt's outstanding musical talent and creative skills.
