 Rigoletto on the cheap June 8, 2008
hinducats (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I have no problem with this low-budget Dover edition of the Ricordi vocal score for Rigoletto, except for the fact that there is no English translation offered for the Italian. While I have learned some Italian by osmosis over the years, I have no formal training in that tongue, so when I sing the Italian words, without a second reference I have no way of knowing what I'm singing about! Other than that, however, this low-cost edition does very well, especially if you know Italian. There really is no need to pay more.
 The 3 reviews I found here do not refer to this product! October 22, 2007

I don't understand why the 3 reviews I found here are being displayed with this item. They are reviews for something else! Naturally, in answer to the question "Was this review helpful to you?" I will click "No" for all of them! And when I receive my copy of the Ricordi score for Rigoletto, I will definitely consider posting a real review of it.

 Not the best introduction to Rigoletto March 27, 2000
16 out of 22 found this review helpful
Rigoletto is a wondeful opera that can be used as an introduction for beginners who want to explore the art of operas. Although I like the concept of Black Dog Opera Library that provides an attractive book and recording of a famous opera in a bargain price, I cannot recommend this book of Rigoletto. The major drawback lies in the recording that accompaies this book. I would say it is probably the most disappointing Rigoletto ever recorded by big names in the opera world.
A terrific guide to the opera for beginners January 2, 2000

I've always enjoyed opera music but I had trouble understanding the words and the plot. This guide gives some background on the Opera's Composer (Verdi), some historical background as well as a brief but interesting summation of the plot. The two CD's that accompany the book provide the complete audio of the opera. (Beverly Sills in the Gilda role and Sherrill Milnes in the role of Rigoletto) The Libretto provides the text of the opera both in Italian and English. I enjoyed this guide so much that I am hoping to collect the whole series.
