One of the greatest, most tragic and passionate operas of all time; Verdi’s tale of treachery, intrigue and illicit passion features some of the most glorious music written for the operatic voice.

The opera tells the story of a court jester, Rigoletto, who with one cruel joke at the expense of an innocent, leads his family and daughter to disgrace and a tragic death in a web of intrigue and mistaken identity.
