MELODRAMMA IN THREE ACTS (1851)
MUSIC BY GIUSEPPE VERDI (1813-1901)
LIBRETTO BY FRANCESCO MARIA PIAVE AFTER LE ROI S’AMUSE BY VICTOR HUGO
Performed in Italian
In Rigoletto the epidemic that erodes the palaces also eats away at hearts and grinds down bodies. But tragedy will lay hold of the fatal flaw that Rigoletto conceals in the depths of his soul: a father's love.
