Opera Santa Barbara Presents
RIGOLETTO
by Guiseppe Verdi

Tremendously popular since its Venice premiere, Verdi’s tense and brutal tale of a deformed court jester caught in a web of corruption, lechery, and revenge runs the full emotional gamut in true operatic fashion. Rigoletto, jester to the Duke of Mantua, is both reviled and respected for his razor-sharp, bitter wit. His only joy is his daughter, Gilda, whom he has hidden from his amoral employer's court. But Rigoletto cannot protect her from falling in love. When the Duke poses as a young student and adds Gilda to his long list of conquests, the jester swears revenge. Passion drives him to plot the Duke's murder, but naïve and blinded by love, Gilda spoils her father's scheme with heart-wrenching results. The iconic melodrama boasts an action-packed plot, memorably complex characters, and a hit parade of glorious music.
