Rigoletto - Giuseppe Verdi

Assailed by deception and corruption, the cursed and despised Rigoletto swears that he will have vengeance on his master, the Duke of Mantua, and protect his beloved daughter Gilda. Rigoletto is one of Verdi’s most powerful operas but it contains some of his most appealing and memorable music including "La donne e mobile" and the breathtaking quartet "Bella figlia dell’amore".
