"{{Lang|it|La donna è mobile|italic=no}}" ({{IPA-it|la ˈdɔnna ˌɛ mˈmɔːbile|pron}}; "Woman is fickle") is the Duke of Mantua's canzone from the beginning of act 3 of Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto (1851). The canzone is famous as a showcase for tenors. Raffaele Mirate's performance of the bravura aria at the opera's 1851 premiere was hailed as the highlight of the evening. Before the opera's first public performance (in Venice), the song was rehearsed under tight secrecy:[1] a necessary precaution, as "{{Lang|it|La donna è mobile|italic=no}}" proved to be incredibly catchy, and soon after the song's first public performance it became popular to sing among Venetian gondoliers. As the opera progresses, the reprise of the tune in the following scenes contributes to Rigoletto's confusion as he realizes from the sound of the Duke's lively voice coming from the tavern (offstage), that the body in the sack over which he had grimly triumphed, was not that of the Duke after all: Rigoletto had paid Sparafucile, an assassin, to kill the Duke, but Sparafucile had deceived Rigoletto by indiscriminately killing Gilda, Rigoletto's beloved daughter, instead.[2] MusicThe aria is in the key of B major with a time signature of 3/8 and a tempo mark of allegretto. The vocal range extends from F{{music|#}}{{sub|3}} to A{{music|#}}{{sub|4}} with a tessitura from F{{music|#}}{{sub|3}} to F{{music|#}}{{sub|4}}. Eight bars form the orchestral introduction, followed by a one-bar general rest. Each verse and the refrain covers eight bars; the whole aria is 87 bars long. The almost comical-sounding theme of "{{Lang|it|La donna è mobile|italic=no}}" is introduced immediately. The theme is repeated several times in the approximately two to three minutes it takes to perform the aria, but with the important—and obvious—omission of the last bar. This has the effect of driving the music forward as it creates the impression of being incomplete and unresolved, which it is, ending not on the tonic (B) or dominant (F{{music|#}}) but on the submediant (G{{music|#}}). Once the Duke has finished singing, however, the theme is once again repeated; but this time it includes the last, and conclusive, bar and finally resolving to the tonic of B major. The song is strophic in form with an orchestral ritornello. LibrettoLa donna è mobile Qual piuma al vento, muta d'accento e di pensiero. Sempre un amabile, leggiadro viso, in pianto o in riso, è menzognero. RefrainLa donna è mobil'. Qual piuma al vento, muta d'accento e di pensier'! È sempre misero chi a lei s'affida, chi le confida mal cauto il cuore! Pur mai non sentesi felice appieno chi su quel seno non liba amore! RefrainLa donna è mobil' Qual piuma al vento, muta d'accento e di pensier'![3] Woman is flighty. Like a feather in the wind, she changes in voice and in thought. Always a lovely, pretty face, in tears or in laughter, it is untrue. RefrainWoman is fickle. Like a feather in the wind, she changes her words and her thoughts! Always miserable is he who trusts her, he who confides in her his unwary heart! Yet one never feels fully happy who from that bosom does not drink love! RefrainWoman is fickle. Like a feather in the wind, she changes her words, and her thoughts! Plume in the summerwind Waywardly playing Ne'er one way swaying Each whim obeying; Thus heart of womankind Ev'ry way bendeth, Woe who dependeth On joy she spendeth! RefrainYes, heart of woman Ev'ry way bendeth Woe who dependeth On joy she spends. Sorrow and misery Follow her smiling, Fond hearts beguiling, falsehood assoiling! Yet all felicity Is her bestowing, No joy worth knowing Is there but wooing. RefrainYes, heart of woman Ev'ry way bendeth Woe who dependeth On joy she spends.[3] Popular cultureThe 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.[4] And indeed, people sang the tune the next day in the streets. Early, it became a barrel organ staple, and later was used extensively in television advertisements.[5] Football fans chanted new words on the melody,[6] and it was used in video games and films.
