Rigoletto

In the organizer's words:

Opera in three acts | Text by Francesco Maria Piave, after the verse drama "Le roi s'amuse" (1832) by Victor Hugo | In Italian. With German surtitles

Duration: approx. 3 hours | Two intermissions | Ages 15 and up

Rigoletto has nothing to laugh about: As court jester to the notorious womanizer Duke of Mantua, he regularly mocks his master's numerous victims for the amusement of the court - until one day it is his own daughter Gilda who falls into the Duke's clutches. Inspired by Victor Hugo's drama "Le roi s'amuse", Verdi put a timeless opera classic on paper with "Rigoletto".
