Rigoletto is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi, on a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. It was first performed at La Fenice Theatre in Venice on March 11th, 1851. It is an intense drama of passion, betrayal, filial love and revenge. The core theme of this tragedy is the curse that triggers off the unstoppable and tragic fall of Rigoletto: The whole subject is in that curse, that becomes even moral (G. Verdi). The first act of the opera is set in Tiepolo’s Room, where Anthony Knight’s wonderful costumes, inspired by 18th century styles, perfectly espouse the sumptuous baroque furniture.
Rigoletto: Rigoletto, opera in three acts by Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi (Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave) that premiered at La Fenice opera house in Venice on March 11, 1851. Verdi had agreed in 1850 to write an opera for La Fenice in Venice, where Piave, one of his favourite librettists, was the resident poet. The composer was eager to adapt Hugo’s Le Roi s’amuse, which he declared the greatest subject and perhaps the greatest drama of modern times. Verdi also said that the title character, called Tribolet in the play, was worthy of Shakespeare. The composer, librettist, and theatre management were aware that getting the libretto through the censorship process could be a challenge.
