Rigoletto is a dramatic opera with a story that revolves around Rigoletto, a hunchbacked court jester for the Duke of Mantua - a morally corrupt ruler known for his womanizing ways. Rigoletto's life becomes complicated when his latest wisecrack starts a vendetta that is far from amusing, leaving him cursed. His daughter Gilda is the only person he wants to protect from this corrupt world. He locks her away, but the young woman nonetheless chooses her own path.
