“Rigoletto” is one of the greatest works of the operatic repertoire with beautiful melodies and a complex plot that tackles fundamental issues about human nature and societal relations, underscoring the dangers of lacking a strong moral code to guide one’s actions.
Composed by Giuseppe Verdi with a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, the opera had a successful premiere in 1851 at Teatro La Fenice in Venice, Italy, and has subsequently become one of the world’s most performed operas.
