Italy's Giordano Lucà performs La donna è mobile from Verdi's Rigoletto, in the final of the 2009 Â鶹Éç Cardiff Singer of the World competition.

The ruthless and heartless Duke of Mantua sings this cynical aria while drinking and playing cards in the inn. Woman is fickle, he sings, changing her voice, her mind and her thoughts. Any man who trusts a woman will be miserable. However, it is actually he who is the fickle one in his attitude to women, as he has boasted in his introductory aria 'Questa o quella' - 'This one or that one, it's the same to me'.
