(Cast may be subject to change)

Rigoletto, the deformed court jester, attempts to save his beloved daughter, Gilda, from seduction by the womanising Duke of Mantua. The score contains such famous arias as the Duke’s ‘La donna e mobile’ and Gilda’s ‘Caro nome’

Ensnared in the web of court affairs and with a curse placed on him revenge seems to be Rigoletto’s only solution, an act which fate turns into tragedy.
