»Bezogen auf den Theatereffekt erscheint mir der RIGOLETTO als das beste Sujet, das ich bisher in Musik gesetzt habe […]. Dort gibt es Situationen von großer Kraft, Abwechslungsreichtum, Temperament, Pathos.« (Verdi an Antonio Somma, 22. April 1853)

Mit der Beschreibung der Qualitäten seines 1851 uraufgeführten melodramma nach Victor Hugos Drama LE ROI S’AMUSE benennt Verdi zugleich die Herausforderungen, denen sich jede Produktion dieser Oper stellen muss: RIGOLETTO ist ein Meisterwerk, dessen Besonderheit in der Konfrontation psychologischer Charakterzeichnung mit den Unwahrscheinlichkeiten einer fantastischen Handlung liegt. Wie ein romantischer Schauerroman klingt diese Geschichte: Als Narr im Dienste des Herzogs von Mantua ist der missgestaltete Rigoletto zum Hassobjekt aller Höflinge geworden. Unterschiedslos verspottet er alle, die sein Herr – ein berüchtigter Schürzenjäger – ins Elend gerissen hat. Doch zugleich hat er Angst davor, dass seiner Tochter Gilda ein ähnliches Schicksal drohen könnte und hält sie deshalb versteckt. Doch muss Rigoletto erleben, dass sein Versuch, inmitten einer von Willkür und Gewalt beherrschten Umgebung seine private heile Welt zu bewahren, zum Scheitern verurteilt ist: Auch Gilda wird vom Herzog verführt und geht für ihn sogar in den Tod.

Ihre emotionale Glaubwürdigkeit gewinnt die Geschichte durch Verdis Musik. Seit RIGOLETTO 1851 in Venedig zum ersten Mal die Opernbühne betrat, bewegt sein Schicksal das Publikum der Opernhäuser. Gemeinsam mit dem TROVATORE und der TRAVIATA (beide 1853) zählt RIGOLETTO zur sogenannten »Trilogia popolare«, die den Beginn der Reifeperiode von Verdis großen Musikdramen bildet.

Musikalische Leitung: Daniel Johannes Mayr | Inszenierung: Jürgen R. Weber

»It seems to me the best subject I have set to music so far, from the point of view of effect, is RIGOLETTO […]. It has very powerful situations, variety, verve, pathos.« (Verdi to Antonio Somma, April 22, 1853)

With the description of the qualities of his melodrama, which had its premiere in 1851 and was based on Victor Hugo’s drama LE ROI S’AMUSE, Verdi names the challenges to be met by every production of his opera: RIGOLETTO is a masterpiece, the peculiarity of which is in the confrontation of the psychological portrayal of its characters with the implausibility of its plot. The story comes right out of a romantic gothic novel: as jester in the service of the Duke of Mantua, the deformed Rigoletto is the object of ridicule of all the courtiers. Without distinction he mocks all those who his master — a notorious skirt chaser — has brought to destitution. At the same time, he fears for his own daughter Gilda that she could be compromised by a similar destiny and so he keeps her hidden. But Rigoletto must contend with the idea that his attempt to preserve his intact private life in the midst of surroundings that are dominated by arbitrary abuse of power and violence, is bound to fail: Gilda is seduced by the Duke and even sacrifices her life for him.

Due to Verdi’s music, the emotional plausibility of Gilda’s character wins over the improbable story. Ever since 1851 RIGOLETTO was first performed in Venice it has moved audiences in opera houses all over the world. Together with IL TROVATORE and LA TRAVIATA, RIGOLETTO belongs to the so-called »popular trilogy« which marks the beginning of the mature period of Verdi’s principle music dramas.
