Product Description
Remarkable for its bold characterization, color, atmosphere, and a plot unsurpassed for superb drama, this memorable opera, which first premiered in 1851, tells the story of a despised hunchback and his beloved daughter — the first instance in which the figure of the tragic jester was used in Italian opera.

 Rigoletto on the cheap, 2008-06-08
I have no problem with this low-budget Dover edition of the Ricordi vocal score for Rigoletto, except for the fact that there is no English translation offered for the Italian. While I have learned some Italian by osmosis over the years, I have no formal training in that tongue, so when I sing the Italian words, without a second reference I have no way of knowing what I'm singing about! Other than that, however, this low-cost edition does very well, especially if you know Italian. There really is no need to pay more.
The 3 reviews I found here do not refer to this product!, 2007-10-22
I don't understand why the 3 reviews I found here are being displayed with this item. They are reviews for something else! Naturally, in answer to the question "Was this review helpful to you?" I will click "No" for all of them! And when I receive my copy of the Ricordi score for Rigoletto, I will definitely consider posting a real review of it.
Enjoy............wanted english version, 2006-07-28
I bought this for my fiance (now wife) hoping to get the english version. I ended up with the italian but she loves it anyways. Great buy for those that reads italian or who loves sheet music.
Not the best introduction to Rigoletto, 2000-03-27
Rigoletto is a wondeful opera that can be used as an introduction for beginners who want to explore the art of operas. Although I like the concept of Black Dog Opera Library that provides an attractive book and recording of a famous opera in a bargain price, I cannot recommend this book of Rigoletto. The major drawback lies in the recording that accompaies this book. I would say it is probably the most disappointing Rigoletto ever recorded by big names in the opera world.
A terrific guide to the opera for beginners, 2000-01-02
I've always enjoyed opera music but I had trouble understanding the words and the plot. This guide gives some background on the Opera's Composer (Verdi), some historical background as well as a brief but interesting summation of the plot. The two CD's that accompany the book provide the complete audio of the opera. (Beverly Sills in the Gilda role and Sherrill Milnes in the role of Rigoletto) The Libretto provides the text of the opera both in Italian and English. I enjoyed this guide so much that I am hoping to collect the whole series.
