Renato Bruson (born 13 January 1936) is an Italian operatic baritone. Bruson is widely considered one of the most important Verdi baritones of the late 20th and early 21st century. He was born in Granze near Padua, Italy. Bruson made his operatic debut as the Conte di Luna in Il trovatore at the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale in Spoleto in 1960. The following year he was Riccardo in I puritani at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma in Rome. His first Metropolitan Opera appearance was as Enrico in Lucia di Lammermoor in 1969. In 1970 he started his collaboration with conductor Riccardo Muti in Un ballo in maschera in Florence. He made his debut at La Scala in 1972 as Antonio in Donizetti's Linda di Chamonix, at the Edinburgh International Festival in 1972 as Ezio in Attila, at Covent Garden in 1975 in the role of Renato in Un ballo in maschera, substituting with great success for Piero Cappuccilli. He debuted at the Vienna State Opera in 1978 with Macbeth, with such a success that the prestigious Austrian theatre awarded him with the important title of Kammersänger. In the 1980s he turned to the 18th century with Mozart's Don Giovanni and to Italian verismo with Umberto Giordano's Andrea Chénier. He is considered by some critics the finest Rigoletto since Tito Gobbi.[3] They appreciate his elegant and expressive phrasing, velvety tone, musical intelligence and acting qualities. He excels in long, lyrical lines. He is also appreciated for not disdaining smaller roles and for not assuming a divo attitude. Bruson once described himself in the following terms: "I am self critic enough to understand what I can get at. Since I knew I did not have a thundering voice to make coarse effects, I sought the interpretation since I think it is more important that the public go home with something in their hearts than some sounds in their ears"...

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.
