Overview
This 1962 London Records LP captures a stunning performance of Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto, conducted by Nino Sanzogno with the Orchestra of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia, Rome. The album features an outstanding cast, including Cornell MacNeil as the tragic Rigoletto, Joan Sutherland as Gilda, Renato Cioni as the Duke of Mantua, and Cesare Siepi as Sparafucile, alongside Giulio Corti and Giuseppe Morresi. The production is marked by Sutherland's exquisite soprano and MacNeil's baritone power, with the famed "La Donna è Mobile" and the duet "Bella Figlia dell'amore" being some of the key highlights. A masterpiece of Italian Romantic opera, Rigoletto is one of Verdi’s most revered works, beautifully captured on this vintage LP.
