Program Four: Verdi's La Donna è Mobile from Rigoletto
Data streams this tenor aria from Giuseppe Verdi's opera Rigoletto as Program Four, layering its bright, playful melody with Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven in his quarters for analysis. Rasmussen feigns irritation at the overlapping sounds, prompting Data to cut its volume in half alongside the others. The music underscores Rasmussen's ploy to gauge Data's responsiveness before pressing for Soong's schematics.
