Depravity and deceit: a life disintegrating...Step into the raucous court of the Duke of Mantua where Rigoletto, the court jester, uses vicious wit to conceal his tormented heart. In a world teetering on the edge of debauchery and deceit, his only joy is his daughter, Gilda. When the charming but womanising Duke sets his sights on Gilda, his actions set in motion a tragic chain of events where a father’s love and treachery collide in a crescendo of passion and heartbreak.
Set against the backdrop of a decadent and ruthless court, this heart-wrenching tale explores the intricate web of love, betrayal, and the consequences of power. Verdi wrote that Rigoletto was his best opera, and with its rich tapestry of emotions and unforgettable melodies – including opera’s most famous quartet and the instantly recognisable La donna è mobile – it’s easy to see why it transcends time and continues to resonate long after the curtain falls.

Malais a thwyll: bywyd ar chwâl...
Camwch i mewn i lys aflafar Dug Mantua lle mae Rigoletto, digrifwas y Dug, yn defnyddio ffraethineb mileinig i gelu ei galon ingol. Mewn byd sy’n gwegian ar ymyl anfoesoldeb a thwyll, ei ferch, Gilda, yw’r unig beth sy’n dod â llawenydd iddo. Ond pan mae’r Dug, y merchetwr cyfareddol, yn rhoi ei fryd ar Gilda, mae ei ymddygiad yn arwain at gyfres o ddigwyddiadau trasig lle mae brad a chariad tad yn gwrthdaro mewn cresendo o angerdd a thorcalon.
Mae’r stori ddirdynnol yma, sydd wedi’i lleoli mewn llys dirywiedig a chreulon, yn archwilio’r gwead cymhleth o gariad, brad a chanlyniadau pŵer. Yn ôl Verdi, Rigoletto oedd ei opera orau, a chyda’i thapestri cyfoethog o emosiynau a melodïau bythgofiadwy – yn cynnwys pedwarawd enwocaf y byd opera a’r hynod gyfarwydd La donna è mobile – mae’n hawdd gweld pam ei bod yn berthnasol hyd heddiw ac yn parhau i gyseinio ymhell ar ôl i’r llen ddod i lawr.
