Piero Cappuccilli (November 9, 1926 -- July 11, 2005) was an Italian operatic baritone. Best known for his interpretations of Verdi roles, he was widely regarded as one of the finest Italian baritones of the second half of the 20th century. He was enormously admired within the field of opera for his rich and abundant voice, fine vocal technique and exceptional breath control. In the great Italian tradition he fused words and music into elegant phrases. He focused on Italian repertory, particularly the operas of Verdi, singing 17 major roles. Born in Trieste, Cappuccilli originally intended to become an architect. He auditioned at a local opera house in 1949, where Luciano Donnaggio (a retired singer beginning a second career as a teacher) heard him and urged him to study. Cappuccilli was still reluctant, believing he had a better potential career as an architect...

Lyrics & English Translation
RIGOLETTO
La ra, la ra, la la...
Where can they have hidden her?
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
(See how upset he is!)
RIGOLETTO
La ra, la ra, la la ...
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
(Yes! See how upset he is!)
RIGOLETTO
I am glad
that the cold air last night
did not harm you in the least...
MARULLO
Last night!...
RIGOLETTO
Yes! ... Ah! it was a fine trick!
MARULLO
But I was asleep all night!
RIGOLETTO
Ah, you were asleep! So I dreamed it!
La ra, la ra, la la ...
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
(See how he inspects everything!)
RIGOLETTO
(It isn't hers.)
Is the Duke still asleep?
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
Yes, he is still asleep.
PAGE
The Duchess wishes to speak to the Duke.
CEPRANO
He's asleep.
PAGE
Wasn't he here with you just now?
BORSA
He went hunting.
PAGE
Without his escort! Unarmed!
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
Don't you understand
that he can't see anyone right now?
RIGOLETTO
Ah, she is there, then! She is with the Duke!
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
Who?
RIGOLETTO
The girl you carried off
from my house last night.
But I shall get her back... She's in there!
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
If you've mislaid your mistress, look for her elsewhere.
RIGOLETTO
I want my daughter!
BORSA, MARULLO, CEPRANO, CHORUS
His daughter!
RIGOLETTO
Yes, my daughter! After such a sweet revenge,
what? You're not laughing?
She's in there... I want her... Give her back.
Courtiers, vile, damnable rabble,
how much were you paid for my treasure?
There's nothing you won't do for money,
but my daughter is beyond any price.
Give her back ... or this hand, though unarmed,
will prove a dread weapon indeed.
A man will fear nothing on earth
when defending his children's honour.
Assassins, open that door!
Ah! You're all against me!
All against me!
Then I'll weep. Marullo, my lord,
you whose soul is as gentle as your heart,
tell me, where have they hidden her?
She's in there ...isn't she? You don't answer...
Alas! My lords, forgive me, have pity!
Give an old man back his daughter!
To give her back can cost you nothing now,
but to me my daughter is everything.
Lords, forgive me ...
Give me my daughter back,
to me my daughter is everything.
Lords, forgive me.
