RIGOLETTO
An outstanding feature of Monday night’s programme from 2YA will be the performance of the famous quartet, "Fairest Daughter of ithe Graces," from the opera, "Rigoletto." The parts will be: RIGOLETTO ........ Keith Grant GILDA .... Mrs. Wilfred Andrews DUKE ........ ceees- Denis Sheard MADDALENA .... Amy Woodward The Quartet. Rigoletto and Gilda find the Duke making love to Maddalens. In this, the most wonderful of ail quartets, the respective emotions of four of the actors are vividly brought out. Here is consummate art which gives us the tender pleadings of the Duke, the coquetry of Maddalena, the fierce cries of the outraged father, and the heart-broken sobs of Gilda, who sees another woman in the arms of the man she has given herself to. What do the words matter, be they Italian, French or English? The music . speaks in language common to us all.
