Rigoletto
Giuseppe Verdi

Main Stage Richmond Hill Performing Arts.
SYNOPSIS
A tragic story of jealousy, vengeance and sacrifice, Rigoletto is one of Verdi’s most popular operas. It features some of opera’s most immediately recognisable music, including ‘Women abandon us’ (‘La donna è mobile’).
Rigoletto is a joker and his latest wisecrack has started a vendetta that’s far from funny. Now, with his daughter seduced by the dissolute Duke, Rigoletto is out for revenge. But he definitely won’t have the last laugh.
