San Diego Opera Presents: RIGOLETTO

Making jokes is what Rigoletto does for a living, serving as court jester to the predatory Duke of Mantua. But the joke may be on him when one of his jests enrages Count Monterone, the father of the Duke's latest victim, unleashing a curse with dangerous consequences for Rigoletto and his beautiful daughter Gilda. Packed with spectacular arias like "La donna e mobile," "Caro nome," and the stunning quartet "Bella figlia dell'amore," Verdi's sublime tale of betrayal, sacrifice, and revenge will hold you spellbound from start to finish.
