VERDI : Rigoletto "Si, Vendetta, Tremenda Vendetta!" (Manfrino/ Seng Hyoun Ko) [HD]

Seng Hyoun Ko and Nathalie Manfrino sing the famous aria 'Si, Vendetta, Tremenda Vendetta!' from Verdi's opera Rigoletto. Giuseppe Verdi wrote in 1855 that Rigoletto, based on Victor Hugo’s play Le Roi s’amuse, was his ‘best opera’. He had had to overcome state censorship to stage it – the censors objected to its depiction of an immoral ruler – but he was vindicated by the premiere’s huge success in 1851. Rigoletto was performed 250 times in the next 10 years and has remained one of the most popular of all operas.
