RIGOLETTO (Rig-oh-let’-toh)
Opera in three acts; text by Piave, adapted from Hugo’s drama Le Roi s’Amuse ; music by Verdi. First produced Venice, 1851; London, 1853; Paris, 1857; N. Y., 1857. The scene is laid in Mantua and vicinity in the sixteenth century.
The story tells of the gay and unprincipled Duke of Mantua, who is assisted in his crimes by his jester, Rigoletto, a hunchback. The father of one of the Duke's victims is mocked by Rigoletto, and launches upon him a father’s awful curse, which stuns and sobers the jester, as he, too, has a daughter, Gilda, unknown to the court.

She pleads for the Duke's life, but Rigoletto swears to kill him, and arranges with the assassin, Sparafucile, to accomplish the deed. The Duke is lured to a lonely inn by Sparafucile’s attractive sister, Maddalena, and is about to be murdered when Maddalena, who has taken a fancy to him, begs for his life. Sparafucile consents provided a substitute should happen along before midnight. Gilda, whom Rigoletto had brought hither (disguised as a page) in order that she might witness the fickleness of her lover, has been listening to the conversation, and now resolves to save the Duke's life at the cost of her own. She enters the hut, is stabbed by Sparafucile, who
