Composed by Giuseppe Verdi. Arranged by Peet du Toit. Contemporary. Score and parts. 1 pages. Peet du Toit #5828949. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.802593)."La donna è mobile" (Woman is fickle) is the Duke of Mantua's canzone from the beginning of act 3 of Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto (1851). Before the opera's first public performance (in Venice), the song was rehearsed under tight secrecy: a necessary precaution, as "La donna è mobile" proved to be incredibly catchy, and soon after the song's
first public performance it became popular to sing among Venetian gondoliers.
The tune has been used in popular culture for a long time and for many occasions and purposes. Verdi
knew that he had written a very popular melody, so he provided the score to the singer at the premiere,
Raffaele Mirate, only shortly before the premiere and had him swear not to sing or whistle the tune
outside rehearsals. And indeed, people sang the tune the next day in the streets.
