The Classical Ballet and Opera House presents 
Opera Rigoletto performed by National Opera and Ballet Theatre of Mari El. Music by Giuseppe Verdi.

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.

These contrasting characters are vividly, with a remarkable wealth of psychological nuances, embodied in the music of the opera.
