Rigoletto is much devoted to his only daughter, and is much concerned for her safety. The courtiers plan to abduct her, and they trick Rigoletto into lending his assistance. When he realises what has been done he recalls the curse which old Count ae Monterone invoked on his head. Gilda has been taken to the palace, and there she is when this evening’s instalment of the opera opens. Rigoletto rushes to the palace. His daughter is with the Duke. In distress he attempts to get into the room, The courtiers, who hate him, and do not altogether understand what is happening, prevent his doing so. At last, the daughter, released, dashes out.

Records D1486-90) (libretto by Mr. W. H. Dixon, L.R.A.M., A.R.C.M., Professor of Singing). The first instalment described the Court of the Duke of Mantua. 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 have much reason to hate both Duke and Jester. Count Monterone utters a parent’s carse upon Duke and Jester. The Duke is merely amused, but the jester is terrified. The courtiers plan revenge on Rigoletto. The portion of the opera dealt with this evening deals with the carrying out of the plan of revenge. Intimidated by the curse, Rigoletto makes a compact with the assassin Sparafucile, whose help is henceforth to be his in case of need.. Rigoletto now goes into the garden, where he finds his only daughter, Gilda. She conceals from him the fact that a young man is hidden on the premises. The young man (though she does not know it) is the Duke. The courtiers, resorting to a ruse by which they secure the help of Rigoletto, he not realising that his own daughter was the victim, abduct Gilda and carry her off to the palace. Rigoletto discovers what has happened, and with horror recalls the curse. Prominent among the airs to be sung will be the great love duet, "Love is the Sun," and the famous solo, "Caro Nome" (Dearest Name). Orchestral-Studio Orchestra, "Light Cavalry" (Suppe).
