Opera Bastille, Paris, will host the performance of 'Rigoletto', an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi with an Italian libretto written by Francesco Maria Piave based on Victor Hugo's play, 'Le roi s'amuse'. It will be performed from May 27 to June 27, 2017.'Rigoletto' is hailed as the first of the operatic masterpieces of Verdi's middle-to-late career. Its plot revolves around the promiscuous Duke of Mantua, his hunch-backed court jester Rigoletto and Rigoletto's beautiful daughter. Verdi’s jester is one of the most complex and tormented figures in the entire operatic repertoire -monstrous and heartbreaking, grotesque and sublime.The opera will be performed at Opera Bastille, Place de la Bastille, 75012 Paris, France.
