Caracalla 2023: Rigoletto
About the Event
Experience opera like never before in this astonishing performance of masterworks by Verdi at Rome's remarkable Baths of Caracalla.
Rigoletto is a three‐act play by Giuseppe Verdi written in 1851 and based on Victor Gugo’s play Le Roi S’amuse (Fr.: The king has fun). The play was banned by the censors for its immoral character and sabotaging the authority of king’s court, therefore in Verdi’s opera the king’s character was substituted with a duke. Rigoletto is thought to be the composer’s first opera masterpiece which presented an immediate box‐office success since its premiere in La Fenice Theatre in Venice.
