Synopsis:

Giuseppe Verdi's masterpiece RIGOLETTO is brilliantly brought to life in this unique production of the beloved opera, performed under the stars of Siena, Italy, by Roberto Servile, Inva Mula (The Fifth Element), Marcelo Alvarez and the Toscanini Foundation Orchestra, conducted by Keri Lynn Wilson and costumes by renowned fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood. In the 1550's Mantua, the Duke (Alvarez), a celebrated ladies man, seduces Gilda (Mula), the beautiful daughter of his sharp-tongued jester, Rigoletto (Servile). Vowing revenge, her furious father hires Sparafucile, a notorious assassin, to avenge his family's honor, a decision that will end in tragedy for all.
