(Synopsis: "Rigoletto" was first produced in Venice in 1851, and its composer died fifty years later. The plot is based upon a play by Victor Hugo, "Le Roi s’amuse" (The King’s Diversion). Though in the older discontinuous style (with set songs, ete.), it is one of the greatest operas. It possesses beauties of melody, harmony, and orchestration, and subtleties in the presentation of character. The opera established the reputation of Verdi. It is very Italian in its type of tune, and in its expression of passion. The portion of the opera to be presented will comprise Act I, Scene 1, and portion of Scene 2. The scene and period of the plot is Mantua, Italy, in the sixteenth century. The Duke of Mantua is a Don Juan, against whose attentions no woman is safe. He is indebted for help in his schemes to his jester, Rigoletto. The courtiers naturally have much reason to hate both Duke and jester. In the opening instalment of this play, as covered by this programme, Count Monterone is introduced. He is angry on account of wrongs done to his daughter. Rigoletto jeers at Monterone, who utters a parent’s curse upon both Duke and jester. The Duke is merely umused, but the jester is terrified. The courtiers plan revenge on Rigoletto. The solos include the well-known "Questo o quella," sung by the Duke; Rigoletto’s flippant "Ch’io le parli" as he steps between the Duke and Count Monterone; Rigoletto’s monologue, "We are Equal," after meeting the assassin Sparafucile; and Rigoletto’s pathetic duet with his daughter, "Recall not the Past." The second instalment of the play, telling how the courtiers abducted Gilda, will be given next Tuesday). 10.5: Close down. 3YA, CHRISTCHURCH (306 METRES)-FRIDAY, APRIL 12. 3 p.m.: Afternoon session-Selected gramophone items, 4.25 : Sports results to hand. 4,/80: Close down. 6.0:Children’s hour conducted by "Storyman," 15 8.0: 8.1: 8.10 814 8.18 8.22: md © 8.26: 8.30: 8.38: 8.41: ~ en 9 4iaiott oR teeeee OO TH & © ary pa ea "I rg ary 9.26: 9.38: : News session, Chimes, cee Rebroadcast of 2YA, Wellington (conditions permitting). : Mixed trio-Radiolian Trio, (a) "I Like It," (b) "Oh, How Warm it is To-day" ("Kissing Time") (Caryll). : Tenor solo-Mr. Greg.
