The Works of Giuseppe Verdi is the first critical edition of the composer's oeuvre. Together with his operas, the series offers his songs, choral music and sacred pieces, and string quartet and other instrumental works. This edition of Rigoletto is based on Verdi's autograph score and an array of additional sources, including contemporary manuscript copies, early editions, and performing parts. It also takes into consideration the abbozzo published in facsimile in 1941, an autograph manuscript containing sketch fragments and a complete continuity draft of the opera. The edition identifies and resolves numerous ambiguities of harmony, melodic detail, text, and phrasing that have marred previous scores. In addition, it reinstates theoriginal reading of several lines of the libretto, which had been censored prior to the opera's first performance in Venice in 1851.Martin Chusid's extensive introduction and critical commentary to the score discuss this and other matters of censorship and shed light on the genesis, sources, and performance history of Rigoletto.

A tamburo battente', auf einen Streich, und in einem wahren Schaffensrausch in angeblich 40 Tagen schrieb Giuseppe Verdi den 'Rigoletto' nieder, die Premiere wurde ein Triumph. Mit gleichem Schwung machte er sich an die Arbeit am 'Troubadour', der alsbald eine ahnlich sensationelle Popularitat errang. Lediglich bei 'La Traviata' meinte der bereits vom Erfolg verwohnte Komponist, ein Fiasko heraufbeschworen zu haben, doch die rasche Verbreitung in Italien und Europa liess auch bei dieser Oper nicht auf sich warten. Schon zu Verdis Lebzeiten war damit die 'Trilogia popolare' geboren, die jene Buhnenwerke umfasst, die bis heute zu den erfolgreichsten und meistgespielten nicht nur innerhalb von Verdis ouvre, sondern in der Opernliteratur uberhaupt zu zahlen sind. Im Jahr 2003 jahren sich die Urauffuhrungen der 'Traviata' und der ersten Fassung des 'Troubadour' zum 150. Mal.
