About Rigoletto

The Duke of Mantua, a notorious womaniser, pursues the married Countess Ceprano while secretly obsessing over a mysterious girl he saw in church. His jester, Rigoletto, mocks the scandal until Count Monterone bursts in, condemning the Duke for seducing his daughter. Rigoletto’s taunts go too far, and Monterone curses him and the entire court.

Rigoletto’s supposed “lover” is actually his sheltered daughter, Gilda, who has already fallen for the Duke in disguise. When she is kidnapped and delivered to the Duke, Rigoletto hires an assassin to take revenge. But Monterone’s curse hangs over them all, driving the story toward its inevitable, devastating end.
