In the twisted world of Rigoletto, love, lust, and revenge dance a scandalous waltz.

Meet Rigoletto, a jester with a mean streak. His boss? A womanizing Duke who collects hearts like baseball cards. But when Rigoletto’s own daughter gets caught in the Duke’s web, it’s game on. Cue the curses, deceit, a sprinkle of murder, and of course some of the most famous music ever written.

Verdi’s classic tale of honor and revenge, fathers and daughters, is based on a play by Victor Hugo, and is never out of the repertory for long. An instant success from the night of its premiere, it has been moving audiences around the world for generations. Armed with a gripping story, a shocking twist, a blockbuster, reputation-making score, and a fabulous grand opera production style, Rigoletto is an indestructible, eternal testament to the sacrifices we make for our jobs, our families, and our honor.
