is needed now More than ever
Verdi’s masterpiece Rigoletto is a dramatic tale of the jester’s daughter whose heart is stolen by a charming but unreliable ruler – and how her father’s attempts to prevent the love affair lead to tragedy.
The opera was almost banned because it exposed the licentious behaviour of the powers-that-be at court.
Featuring the celebrated tenor arias La Donna è Mobile and Questa o Quella justly turned into classics by Caruso, Rigoletto is based on a play by Victor Hugo.
Featuring a magnificent golden eagle with a seven-foot wingspan and two royal greyhounds.
Please note some scenes contain nudity.
