This iconic Verdi tragedy will be fully-staged with orchestra at Stephens Hall Theatre in Towson, MD.
Rigoletto serves as the court jester for the licentious Duke of Mantua. His life is filled with secrecy and pain, as he tries to protect his beloved daughter Gilda from the Duke's predatory advances. Trapped in a web of betrayal and vengeance, Rigoletto's desperate attempts to save Gilda from tragedy ultimately lead to a heart-rending climax and a powerful exploration of human emotions and the consequences of one's actions.
Performances on Oct. 20 and 22.
