In the scene of Rigoletto’s solo, Pari siamo!, right after Rigoletto encounters Sparafucile, the viewer’s understanding of Rigoletto as a character, their understanding of the plot, and their speculation of the theme of the opera shift. At the beginning of the opera, Rigoletto appears to be a simple, uncaring, thoughtless fool. However, when he sings Pari siamo, he adds depth and relatability to his character. The beginning is very low, creating an eerie, untrusting mood in which the viewer questions Rigoletto’s intentions and morality. The music becomes steadily louder, creating a feeling of fear of Rigoletto and the plans he seems to be creating.
Actor Joel Edgerton has been making the acting rounds for quite some time - so if you feel as though you've seen him in a bunch of other films throughout the years, you're not mistaken. Sci-fi junkies will likely pick him out as the guy that played a young Owen Lars in the Star Wars prequels, while more recent moviegoers will likely recognize him from the Biblical drama, Exodus: Gods and Kings. Undeniably, the fueled-up Joel Edgerton stock locomotive is gaining steam - and doing so with great haste. While he's noticeably devoted to enhancing his acting career, he's now officially taking the semi--risky leap behind the camera for the very first time, as well - serving as writer, director, and producer on-board his new film, The Gift. That's right, dear reader, it would appear Mr. Edgerton is a true jack-of-all-trades.

Mozart and Lorenzo Da Ponte, names which were inseparably linked in the history of opera collaborated to produce the operas Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte. Although both set in the Italian language, to Mozart, his music expressed that which language alone had worn out, human emotions, feelings and passions. Don Giovanni to some “the finest opera ever written” is an opera with a mixture of seriousness, comedy, horror and jest. Unlike most of Mozart’s previous operas where the opening overture had no musical significance to the drama that proceeded, Don Giovanni was the first overture to involve the action. The overture begins slowly with heart-rending chords and an immediate ostinato rhythm in the strings.
Wagner’s Parsifal (1878. 1882) and Verdi’s Falstaff (1893) demonstrated senses of self-reflection and awareness of the two composers’ respective careers. With their varying styles and goals in composing operas, Verdi and Wagner provided unique designs for Italian and German opera, while simultaneously creating careers that looking back now, seem so
Richard Wagner used several methods to change traditional aspects of the opera. He felt that the opera house was a temple and wanted the audiences to be overwhelmed by the music and drama of his works. He wrote librettos based on legends and myths that included heroes, Gods and demigods. Wagner wanted his works to be called music dramas. He had continuous musical flow that he referred to as “unending melody.”
Although the stage and costumes are seemingly more saturated with decorative props than the stark, almost empty surroundings of the Beijing Opera, there is a subdued dimness that allows the audience to put full attention to the male vocalist and his muse. The singing lines in the Beijing Opera were performed within a limited range, at a very high octave with a limited range. Similar to screeching, the notes were carried high in her throat, and produced with a certain harshness. On the contrary, the big, powerful “bel canto” operatic voice of the male singer in the Italian Opera, resonates with rich, full sounds throughout his voice range. The male performer’s voice and the message of love to the woman present with him, is obviously the main focal point of the piece.

Operas are a historical and traditional staple to the Italian culture and society. Planting its roots in Florence during the early 16th century (Italian Opera), it had the ability to communicate to both the educated and uneducated. Verdi, an Italian artist, revolutionized the use from a dramatic vocal show to a show one could relate to. He manipulated the opera to reflect the political upheaval at the time and support the people (Virban). It has since evolved from pastoral depictions to dramatic love stories; not depicting what was originally shown.
