About this event
**RIGOLETTO**
Music by Giuseppe Verdi
Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave
Based on the play Le Roi s’Amuse by Victor Hugo
OCTOBER 10, 16, 18, 2026 at the Benedum
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to experience classic Italian opera?
**Rigoletto**
A fool’s errand.
Sharp-witted court jester Rigoletto is the philandering Duke’s right-hand man, always quick to defend his patron’s womanizing and mock his master’s victims. But the joke is on him. The tables turn when Rigoletto and the Duke are both cursed for their wretched behavior. While Rigoletto instinctively fears the curse, the callous Duke remains unfazed, turning his rakish intentions toward Rigoletto’s daughter, Gilda.
Naïve, sheltered, and easily charmed, Gilda falls madly in love with the Duke. Now, Rigoletto must plot and scheme to save his own daughter from the monster he had championed. Will Rigoletto have the last laugh, or will he be the punchline?
Antony Walker conducts.
**Understand Every Word:** [Rigoletto]
