Considered one of Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi’s (1813-1901) masterpieces, "Rigoletto" is an electrifying opera that revolves around the licentious Duke of Mantua, his hunch-backed court jester Rigoletto, and Rigoletto's beautiful daughter Gilda.

Like most comedians, Rigoletto sometimes takes a joke too far for the comfort of his audience --- and faces a curse when one of his jokes gets a little too personal.

Sung in Italian with projected English texts. Presented by the Pittsburgh Opera. For show times and tickets, call (412) 456-6666.
