A closed thread and a challenge in more ways than one for Delicious Maiden and Ariosto...
As a public service to the patrons of LIT, many of whom have confessed to me an alarming dearth of knowledge regarding the rich and lusty world of OPERA…(though some did say they’d been to the Grand Old…or had seen Tommy)…The Bel Canto Association of Literotica is proud to present for the first time on these pages it’s production of…
Giuseppi Verdi’s immortal RIGOLETTO!
This is the tragic story of a misshapen, hunch backed, generally obnoxious court jester (Rigoletto), the tender love he has for his scrumptious, sexy, sometimes virginal daughter Gilda and the terrible fate to which his inept blundering and her mindless passion for the lust crazed, arrogant, almost insufferable Duke of Mantua, will lead them.
Other notable characters include;
Count Ceprano and his wife, who together or apart will do ANYTHING to gain the good graces of the Duke.
The hapless Count of Monterone whose fate will be to witness the tasteless defilement of his wife the Countess Monterone.
Does she protest too loudly?
The fearsome, diabolical and strangely magnetic thug Sparafucile and his equally fearsome, diabolical and incredibly sexy sister Maddalena...ohhh Gypsy love!
Finally there is Giovanna, Gilda’s nurse and duenna, a lusty, seasoned gal who has been at the ‘service’ of and ‘servicing’ the Court for many years.
Due to budget considerations all female parts in this production will be played by Delicious Maiden the famed British Diva, last sceen in Sir Lionel Lloyd’s production of The Magic Flute…and oh how she played it!
The aging baritone Ariosto, who was last on the operatic stage in Verdi’s original production of Rigoletto, in which he played an unnamed usher, will play all the male parts...he still has a few that work!
And so...
Rigoletto, an opera in four acts.
Act One, Scene One,
In the Court of the Duke of Mantua (a very randy fellow indeed)
A grand ball is taking place! A fete extraordinaire!
The Duke, a robust, virile black bearded young man, enters with the ravishing Countess Ceprano on his arm. The crowd of courtiers including her husband the Count Ceprano hovers about them like gaudy butterflies around the honeysuckle bush. Urged on by all, including the grotesque court jester Rigoletto, the lusty Duke proceeds to have his way with the lovely Countess while singing the immortal aria Questa o Quella (This one or that one).
The festivities are interrupted by the appearance of the unfortunate Count Monterone, dragged into the ballroom in chains to watch the eagerly anticipated ravishment of his wife, the bodacious Countess Monterone, by the entire assembly.
The first scene ends with the Countess’ immortal aria Calmatevi (Restrain yourself!) and the answering chorus Che Festa! Che Festa!(What a party!)
The Curtain opens...
