Synopsis:
Buffoon Rigoletto suggests to his duke the libertine behaviour that dishonours the maidens of the court, but Monterone, whose daughter was seduced by the duke, damns him: his awful jokes will turn against him. Infact, just his daughter Gilda will be a victim of the duke, who abducts her. Rigoletto decides for a revenge paying Sparafucile to kill the duke, but GIlda, who loves the duke, decides to die instead of him. When Rigoletto receives the body, he listens to the voice of the duke and discovers that the body he has in his hands is not the duke's one, but Gilda!
