The first is entitled "The Sea and the Vessel of Sinbad" : fine, strong music with the power of the sea in it.

Then she turns back to Sinbad, of whom she had earlier discoursed, and relates how his ship was wrecked upon an island. The storm is well suggested in the music. In the end the music tells us that the Sultan is appeased, and that the last word, as ever, is the woman’s.)

(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 orehestration,. 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 1, 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 amused, 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 filippant, "Ch’io le parli" as he step 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."
