Tragic story of the court jester Rigoletto is based on Victor Hugo’s drama Le roi s’amuse

In Italian with Czech and English subtitles

Together with La traviata and Il trovatore, Rigoletto (1851) is an opera that made Verdi famous worldwide. Verdi’s splendid melodies and the masterful depiction of the lead characters still enchant opera-lovers around the world.

Rigoletto´s beautiful daughter Gilda falls victim to her father’s promiscuous master, the Duke of Mantua. The genesis of the work, written for the Teatro La Fenice, was quite dramatic in itself. The Venice police intervened and subjected the original version to censorship, claiming that the theme was “tastelessly immoral” and “offensive to His Royal Majesty”.

Très belle réprésentation de Rigoletto. Même si la mise en scène situe l'action dans les années 1970, il de a de bonnes idées, et ce n'est pas choquant. Les chanteurs étaient formidables, on a beaucoup apprécié. Un très grand bravo.

I loved it! The music, the orchestra, the stage design & many other details were amazing. By reading more about Rigoletto itself before, the scenes were captured very well. Can recommend it!
