  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

Zarzuela, a traditional form of Spanish musical theater, has been championed by the world’s great Hispanic opera singers, including Montserrat Caballé, Pilar Lorengar, Alfredo Kraus, and Teresa Berganza. The great tenor Plácido Domingo actually began his magnificent career singing zarzuela and has kept it in his repertory over the years. This Teatro Real production has been seen at Milan’s La Scala, Washington National Opera, and Los Angeles Opera, and we are proud to be able to present it to our Maestro Ramon Tebar and Bob Heuer South Florida audience. It promises to be a highlight of the season. The season will also include Florida Grand Opera’s first-ever production of Puccini’s La rondine, which has been enjoying renewed worldwide popularity, and truly remarkable artists in productions of Verdi’s Rigoletto and Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette. I hope you will join me in welcoming FGO’s new Music Director, Ramon Tebar, who will assume that role during the 2011-2012 season.

Besides being great tenors, each of these singers share the fact that they transitioned from baritone to tenor.
