Rigoletto, composed by Verdi, first performed 1851. The Plot: Rigoletto, the womanising Duke's jester, habitually makes fun of the humiliated husbands and fathers. But he reacts badly when his own daughter Gilda is kidnapped and placed in the Duke's bed. He hires an assassin but in a midnight climax, it is Gilda who allows herself to be killed instead of the Duke.
