Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi
Melodramma in three acts |
|
Rigoletto is an opera in 3 acts by Verdi. The Italian libretto was written by Francesco Maria Piave based on the play Le roi s'amuse by Victor Hugo. It is considered by many to be the first of the operatic masterpieces of Verdi's middle-to-late career.
Verdi was commissioned to write a new opera by the La Fenice opera house in Venice in 1850, at a time when he was already a well-known composer with a degree of freedom in choosing the works he would prefer to set to music.
In Rigoletto the epidemic that erodes the palaces also eats away at hearts and bodies. But the Machiavellian jester conceals a fatal flaw in the depths of his soul: a father's love. |

Masterpieces of the last Egyptian dynasties |

This is the first exhibition to be devoted to the treasures of the last dynasties, during which various crises and invasions opened Egypt up to a range of influences. Over 100 artefacts, on loan from the largest Ancient Egypt collections in the world demonstrate the breadth and diversity of Egyptian art after the last Ramesses Pharaohs.
Discover the last millennium of the Pharaohs
Outstanding art
Sculptures, reliefs, sarcophagi, death masks, items of worship and jewellery from tombs and prestigious temples are some of the many examples of art from this period, which combines elegant proportions, delicate forms and sparing details. Proven technical mastery and a strong taste for clean lines produced outstanding art of unrivalled perfection, especially with regard to statue work.
This was a time of economic prosperity marked by encounters with other cultures. It saw the construction of large monuments celebrating the greatness of Egyptian culture. |
