Book Reviews of Rigoletto Vocal Score (Dover Vocal Scores)
Book Review: Clear and Straightforward
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of several opera guides I have purchased, and it maintains the quality of the series. There are several essays by different authorities in their fields, one on the origin of the work, detailing the political and critical difficulties experienced by the composer and his librettist during the planning, writing and afterlife of the work; a look at the later reception of the opera, and details of the themes of the opera, keyed by number to the text. There are several black-and-white photos of various cast members. The second half of the book is taken up with a full libretto and translation.
I would recommend this guide to anyone who is interested in exploring "Rigoletto", which is one of Verdi's greatest works, and one of his own favourites. The authors plausibly argue that "Rigoletto" marks a change in the style of Verdi's operatic writing.
Having read several of the guides in this series, I have no hesitation in recommending them.
