Act 1.: Aria—Gilda, ‘ Caro Nome.’ So intense has been the Duke’s lovemaking that Gilda has quite lost her heart. She, in an ecstasy of love, sings his dear name aloud, saying that it is for ever graven on her heart, and that she loves him. 9.50: Act 111. Aria, the Duke, ‘ La Donna e Mobile.’ It hardly becomes the Duke to sing of fickleness, ho having a Jady-lovo in nearly every street in Mantua; but, disguised as a soldier, he comes to the inn next door to Sparafucile’s house, and calls for wine. 9.55; Scene and quartet—Gilda, ‘Bella Figlia Dell’amore.’ Rigoletto and Gilda find the Duke making love to Maddalena. In this, the most wonderful of all quartets, the respective pleadings of the Duke, the coquetry of Maddalena, the fierce cries of the outraged father, and the heart-broken sobs of Gilda, who secs another woman in the arms of a man she has given herself to, are vividly brought out. 10.1: Trio and finale—Gilda, Maddalena, and Sparafucile, ‘ Somiglia un Apollo.’ Once more before she dies Gilda speaks to her father and assures him that she will be waiting in Heaven for him with her mother, Calling out: “At last the curse hath crushed me!” Rigoletto falls senseless over the body of his beautiful daughter, the victim of the Duke’s perfidy. 10.
