Can an ugly person love? A handsome young man heartless, even angry? If the social questions raised in Rigoletto still seemed revolutionary and progressive when the work was written, today they not only contradict all political correctness, but also appear downright inhuman. And yet the emotional truthfulness of the characters and the grandiose mixture of political drama and family tragedy in Verdi's opera still captivate audiences to this day.

Rigoletto is the first opera in Giuseppe Verdi's »trilogia popolare«. As in La Traviata and Il Trovatore , the plot revolves around a person on the fringes of society. Not only his physical deformity, but also his immoderate and arrogant behavior made the court jester Rigoletto an outsider at the court of the Duke of Mantua. The only happiness in life is his daughter Gilda, whom he carefully keeps hidden. But the courtiers use a ruse to kidnap Gilda and hand him over to the unscrupulous duke. When Rigoletto learns that Gilda loves her seducer, he hires an assassin to kill the duke. But Gilda voluntarily sacrifices her life for her love.

Even those who have never heard the name Rigoletto can at least whistle along to the melody of the canzone La donna è mobile , which has become the epitome of Italianità thanks to pizza advertising. The work is being staged by Robert Schuster, who, after the highly poetic success of Peter Handke's The Hour Since We Didn't Know About Each Other, is returning to the Klagenfurt City Theater with his set designer Sascha Gross.
