Summary:
Luciano Pavarotti is the elegant, reckless Duke of Mantua whose betrayal of the innocent Gilda (Christiane Eda-Pierre) leads to a tragic ending. Louis Quilico plays Rigoletto, the court jester and Gilda's father, who has dedicated his life to keeping his daughter away from the Duke--only to have her sacrifice her own life for the villainous nobleman. James Levine's conducting brings out the scorching drama in Verdi's unforgettable score.

Opening credits
Preludio
Della mia bella incognita borghese
Questa o quella per me pari sono
Ch'io gli parli
Quel vecchio maledivami!
Pari siamo!
Figlia! Mio padre!
Già da tre lune
Signor?
Giovanna, ho dei rimosi
È il sol dell'anima
Che m'ami, deh! Ripetimi
Addio, addio
Gualtier Maldè! Car nome che il mio cor
Riedo! Perchè?
Zitti, zitti moviamo a vendetta
Ella mi fu rapita!
Parmi veder le lagrime
Duca, duca!
Possente amor mi chiama
Povero Rigoletto!
Cortigiani, vil razza dannata
Mio padre!
Parla, siam soli ; Tutte le feste al tempio
Ah! Solo per me l'infamia
Compiuto pur quanto
E l'ami?
La donna è mobile
Un dì, se ben rammentomi
Bella figlia dell'amore
M'odi! Venti scudi, hai tu detto?
È amabile invero
Della vendetta alfin giunge l'instante!
Chi e mai, chi e qui in sua vece?
V'ho ingannato, colpevole fui
