Mattia Denti

When a sharp-tongued court jester Rigoletto is cursed for his spiteful words, he is forced to hide his unworldly daughter Gilda from his own licentious master the Duke. For Verdi’s wonderful ambivalent hunchback, paradise is the peaceful home and family that he struggles to protect.

L’action se déroule à Windsor sous le règne d'Henri IV d'Angleterre (1399-1413).

Live performance from Teatro La Fenice, 29 Nov. 2013.
