Piero Cappuccilli: Verdi - Rigoletto, 'Cortigiani, vil razza dannata'

Piero Cappuccilli (November 9, 1926 -- July 11, 2005) was an Italian operatic baritone. Best known for his interpretations of Verdi roles, he was widely regarded as one of the finest Italian baritones of the second half of the 20th century. He was enormously admired within the field of opera for his rich and abundant voice, fine vocal technique and exceptional breath control. In the great Italian tradition he fused words and music into elegant phrases. He focused on Italian repertory, particularly the operas of Verdi, singing 17 major roles. Born in Trieste, Cappuccilli originally intended to become an architect. He auditioned at a local opera house in 1949, where Luciano Donnaggio (a retired singer beginning a second career as a teacher) heard him and urged him to study. Cappuccilli was still reluctant, believing he had a better potential career as an architect... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piero_Ca... Lyrics & English Translation RIGOLETTO La ra, la ra, la la... Where can they have hidden her? BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS (See how upset he is!) RIGOLETTO La ra, la ra, la la ... BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS (Yes! See how upset he is!) RIGOLETTO I am glad that the cold air last night did not harm you in the least... MARULLO Last night!... RIGOLETTO Yes! ... Ah! it was a fine trick! MARULLO But I was asleep all night! RIGOLETTO Ah, you were asleep! So I dreamed it! La ra, la ra, la la ... BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS (See how he inspects everything!) RIGOLETTO (It isn't hers.) Is the Duke still asleep? BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS Yes, he is still asleep. PAGE The Duchess wishes to speak to the Duke. CEPRANO He's asleep. PAGE Wasn't he here with you just now? BORSA He went hunting. PAGE Without his escort! Unarmed! BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS Don't you understand that he can't see anyone right now? RIGOLETTO Ah, she is there, then! She is with the Duke! BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS Who? RIGOLETTO The girl you carried off from my house last night. But I shall get her back... She's in there! BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS If you've mislaid your mistress, look for her elsewhere. RIGOLETTO I want my daughter! BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS His daughter! RIGOLETTO Yes, my daughter! After such a sweet revenge, what? You're not laughing? She's in there... I want her... Give her back. Courtiers, vile, damnable rabble, how much were you paid for my treasure? There's nothing you won't do for money, but my daughter is beyond any price. Give her back ... or this hand, though unarmed, will prove a dread weapon indeed. A man will fear nothing on earth when defending his children's honour. Assassins, open that door! Ah! You're all against me! All against me! Then I'll weep. Marullo, my lord, you whose soul is as gentle as your heart, tell me, where have they hidden her? She's in there ...isn't she? You don't answer... Alas! My lords, forgive me, have pity! Give an old man back his daughter! To give her back can cost you nothing now, but to me my daughter is everything. Lords, forgive me ... Give me my daughter back, to me my daughter is everything. Lords, forgive me. A link to this wonderful artists personal website: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/piero-... Please Enjoy! I send my kind and warm regards,
