This is a shame that no complete "Rigoletto" has been commercially issued featuring Piero Cappuccilli. He was oneof the foremost vocal interpreters of the part, and a very impressive actor as well.
Many thanks for that video. Do you know if the complete performance is available somewhere? As a great fan of Cappuccilli, I wonder why there is virtually no complete "Rigoletto" on video available featuring him. It's all the more surprising that he is generally a valuable actor, with an intense stage presence.
I only found out about the tragic passing of Cappuccilli about a monh go when I was cruising wikipedia. I must say, it left me feeling more blue than it should have. But then again, why shouldn' t it? So many many memories. The tremendous 1977 recording of Rigoletto with Domingo et al...Macbetto about the same time with SV...Rest in peace big man from New Zealand :)
Sin duda Cappuccilli uno de los grandes baritonos de siempre y de los mejores en Verdi, y por lo mismo es dificil que un cantante de este nivel se encasille en un solo rol como Rigoletto.
eso no es correcto. Cappuccilli ha cantado la parte del Rigoletto muchas veces. Pero terminó cantarla despues de 1981/82 y no sé porque. Rigoletto fue una des las mejores interpretaciones de su carrera.

many thanks for posting this. I saw it on TV when it was broadcast at the time. I have never seen this performance for sale on DVD. Does anyone know if it is available?
I do wish there is a visual recording of Cappucilli's Rigoletto. He wasn't too tall for the part, like many other baritones portrayal the role!

I'm afraid, I think it is not available. What a shame! Cappuccilli was a fantastic singer and a great actor at the same time.

What is the meaning of that? Cappuccilli came from Trieste in Italy.

@Krawi6
Cappuccilli sang until his mid-sixties; an automobile accident in 1992 ended his stage career. He died in his native Trieste, at the age of 78
