Rigoletto

Giuseppe Verdi
Francesco Maria Piave

Who has Gilda on his conscience? The Duke of Mantua, who can't keep his hands off any skirt? His courtiers, who use game playing to chase boredom? Or is it the cynical court jester Rigoletto, who will not let go of his daughter Gilda or give her the freedom she would need to realize for herself "what" love is, and "who" really loves? This is as certain as Monterone's curse: one of the best-known operatic hits will be told in a totally new way by motion picture director Doris Dörrie!
