Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto Story Description:
"“Rigoletto,” Giuseppe Verdi's first opera of the trilogy that includes “Il Trovatore” and “La Traviata,” is without a doubt one of the most popular operas of all time. It contains some of the world's best-known music, including the aria “La donna e mobile,” and the major-key theme from the Quartet, which Kobbe describes “…the finest piece of concerted music in Italian Opera.” In the 1550s Mantua, the Duke (Alvarez), a celebrated ladies man, seduces Gilda (Mula), the beautiful daughter of his sharp-tongued jester, Rigoletto (Servile). Vowing revenge, her furious father hires Sparafucile, a notorious assassin, to avenge his family's honor, a decision that will end in tragedy for all concerned."
