Rigoletto is one of Verdi's most famous works. The action of the opera is based on sharp dramatic contrasts. At the center of it is a sharp psychological drama that comprehensively outlines the image of Rigoletto — a sarcastic court jester, a tender, deeply suffering father, a formidable avenger. He is confronted by a frivolous and depraved duke, outlined against the background of court life. Spiritual purity, selfless devotion are personified in the image of the young Gilda.
