Rigoletto tells the story of the crippled court jester Rigoletto and his adored daughter Gilde, whom he desperately tries to protect from the advances of the pleasure-loving Duke of Mantua. While Gilde naïvely gives credence to the Duke ' s amorous advances, he is concerned only with constantly changing erotic relationships, of which he boasts in his famous luft Diese oder jene. Rigoletto fails. A terrible curse uttered against him by Count Monterone, whom he had once lächerlich gemacht before the entire court, comes true: at the end he holds his beloved daughter dead in his arms.
