About the new production of Rigoletto

Opera’s most famous aria ‘La donna è mobile’ returns in the final act in this new production of Verdi’s Rigoletto. This classic morality masterpiece remains timeless as it juxtaposes power against innocence and beauty against ugliness, in a world that prioritises luxurious decadence, highlighting its pitiless corruption and social decay.

Rigoletto synopsis

At a palace party, the womanizer Duke of Mantua isn’t content with the married Countess Ceprano, and reveals he is also infatuated with a mysterious woman he has seen in church. The jester Rigoletto jokes that the Duke should have the Countess’s husband murdered which leads to Count Ceprano’s vow to kidnap Rigoletto’s lover as revenge. Chaos descends as the Duke is revealed to be involved with another woman and Rigoletto takes his jesting too far!
