About "Rigoletto / Act 2 : Verdi: Rigoletto / Act 2: "Ah! piangi, fanciulla" / "Padre, in voi parla un angiol" (Rigoletto, Gilda)" by Cheryl Studer
Act 2's 'Ah! piangi, fanciulla' finds Rigoletto and Gilda in a wrenching father-daughter confrontation. Studer's voice trembles with wounded innocence as the orchestra swells; the aria's emotional tension lies between paternal protection and the cruel revelation of deceit.
