SUMMARY:Rigoletto
DESCRIPTION:Rigoletto is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi. The Italian libretto was written by Francesco Maria Piave based on the 1832 play Le roi s'amuse by Victor Hugo. Despite serious initial problems with the Austrian censors who had control over northern Italian theaters at the time\, the opera had a triumphant premiere at La Fenice in Venice on 11 March 1851. The work\, Verdi's sixteenth in the genre\, is widely considered to be the first of the operatic masterpieces of Verdi's middle-to-late career. \n\nThe tragic story revolves around the licentious Duke of Mantua\, his hunch-backed court jester Rigoletto\, and Rigoletto's daughter Gilda. The opera's original title\, La Maledizion (The Curse)\, refers to a curse placed on both the Duke and Rigoletto by the Count Monterone\, whose daughter the Duke has seduced with Rigoletto's encouragement. The curse comes to fruition when Gilda falls in love with the Duke and sacrifices her life to save him from the assassin hired by her father.\n\nCAST:\n\nBaritone Michael Nansel   RIGOLETTO\n\nTenor Victor Starsky   DUKE\n\nSoprano Hanna Brammer   GILDA\n\nBasso Steven Fredericks   SPARAFUCILE\n\nMezzo Soprano Christina Lamberti   MADDALENA\n\nBass Baritone   Nate Strock   MONTERONE\n\nTBD   MARULLO\n\nMaestro Adrian Sylveen   Conductor\n\nRider Foster   Chorus Master\n\nGiorgio Lalov   Stage Director\, Sets\, costumes and lights\n\n \n\nAbout Teatro Lirico d'Europa\n\nTeatro Lirico d'Europa has produced over 700 performances in 120 different venues across the United States after decades of success performing for European audiences.
