Overview
Verdi’s Rigoletto
Revenge only leads to disaster and no one is safe in Verdi’s tragic yet tuneful Rigoletto, the epitome of high drama and an operatic classic.
The Duke is a notorious womanizer and his court jester, Rigoletto, is all too ready to laugh at the men whose wives and daughters have been seduced—that is, until he learns his own daughter is the Duke’s latest conquest. In the end, the cruel and devastating joke is on the jester.
