The hunchbacked court jester Rigoletto, never at a loss for a joke at the expense of others, is in the service of the Duke of Mantua. His only happiness in life is his daughter Gilda. When Rigoletto witnesses how she succumbs to the unscrupulous duke's calculating oaths of love, he seeks revenge: the contract killer Sparafucile is supposed to kill the seducer. But Gilda sacrifices herself for her lover. Rigoletto realizes that he drove his daughter to death and destroyed his own life.
Ever since Rigoletto first appeared on the opera stage in Venice in 1851, his fate has moved opera audiences. Giuseppe Verdi, however, brought the piece to world fame with its melodies that are omnipresent to this day - a piece entirely without heroes: And so Rigoletto, cynic and lovesick father, also joins the broad ranks of Verdi's characters who are on the fringes of society and those before had no voice in operatic art.
