Rigoletto

The titular Rigoletto is a princely clown — a character, as is often the case in Verdi's works, who escapes unequivocal judgment. Around him is centered the action of the opera, full of human drama and extreme emotions.

The incredibly dynamic story is a timeless tale of interpersonal relationships - of sacrifice, love, longing, but also of rejection and revenge. Verdi's extremely evocative and emotionally charged music makes the bitter reflection on the world and human nature even clearer.

From the opera comes one of the most famous opera arias. La donna è mobile became a hit right after its release and has remained so to this day.
