Orpheus and Eurydice agree: their marriage is over. While he is only interested in his music, she seeks adventure – and promptly ends up in the arms of Pluto, the god of the underworld. He seizes the opportunity and whisks her away to the realm of the dead.

Orpheus in the Underworld

Halle Opera House

Rigoletto has nothing left to laugh about: As court jester to the notorious womaniser Duke of Mantua, he regularly mocks his master's numerous victims for the amusement of the court - until one day it is his own daughter Gilda who falls into the Duke's clutches. Inspired by Victor Hugo's drama "Le roi s'amuse", Verdi put a timeless opera classic on paper with "Rigoletto".
