Rigoletto, Giuseppe Verdi's tragic classic is the story of the cursed court jester whose obsession to revenge his violated daughter's honor turns viciously against him. Its familiar music includes the arias "Caro nome" and "La donna e mobile." Incensed by the rapacious Duke of Mantua's seduction of his beloved daughter Gilda, Rigoletto plots the duke's assassination. But Gilda, hopelessly in love, sacrifices herself to save the duke. The curtain falls as Rigoletto in a horrifying mistake causes Gilda's death and in despair embraces his dying daughter. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
Now in its 10th season, Teatro Lirico d’Europa, the European touring company formed in 1988 by Bulgarian opera singer, Giorgio Lalov, has completed more than 3,000 performances worldwide.
