Rigoletto

The Rigoletto is an opera by Giuseppe Verdi. This opera is considered by many to be the first of the " Operatic masterpieces" .This opera was composed between the 1850-1851. The first performance of this opera was on March 11, 1851 in the Teatro la Fenice, in Venice (Italy). This play Rigoletto is an opera filled with curses and irony. This opera is basically about how, "At a Ball in the Ducal Palace, Rigoletto taunts Count Ceprano whose wife is the target of the Duke's wandering eye. Monterone, whose daughter was seduced by the Duke bursts in and calls a curse upon the Duke for destroying his daughters honor and Rigoletto for making jest of it. Through trickery, Rigoletto's daughter is carried off to the Duke to suffer the same fate as Monterone's daughter. Rigoletto plots his revenge through use of the assassin Sparafucile and his sister Maddalena. Things do not go as planned for Rigoletto as the curse comes back to haunt him."
