About Rigoletto - Royal Ballet and Opera
Power gets the last laugh.
Rigoletto leads a double life. As jester to the Duke of Mantua, he is a master of cruelty. As father to his daughter, Gilda, his love knows no bounds. Rigoletto has done everything in his power to keep these worlds separate, and his daughter safe. But when the Duke sees something he wants, he gets it. And what the Duke wants, is Gilda.
In Oliver Mears' acclaimed staging, Verdi's masterpiece is presented as a modern morality play, pitting power against innocence in a world of decadence and corruption.
