*HUGS*
Is that the production with Leo Nucci as Gilda's father? I think I saw that on the telly some years ago.
How's it going with you this evening?
Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis! Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis! Gilda is Edita Gruberova, and her father Rigoletto is sung by Ingvar Wixell. It was filmed in actual Renaissance Buildings in Mantua. It is a 1981 production. Pavarotti is amazing in it even if he IS playing a major SKUNK. LOL!
OMG...this Gilda has a lovely timbre to her voice, but she has so many breaks, I can’t believe it. her mid range is exquisite, but she chops it off to go to her head voice for the really high notes. And the role has “quite a few” high notes! LOL!
