VERDI  Rigoletto

The RPO’s Opera Concert brings drama, orchestral excellence, and world-class singing to the stage of Kodak Hall with Verdi’s Rigoletto. Considered a masterwork of the operatic genre, Rigoletto tells the tragic story of the Duke of Mantua, his court jester, Rigoletto, and Rigoletto’s daughter, Gilda. The opera was originally titled La maledizione, or The Curse, referencing a curse placed on Rigoletto and the Duke – thus the tragedy unfolds.
