Verdi's opera Rigoletto comes to the screen in a lavish 1982 filmed production, with Luciano Pavarotti in the role of the Duke of Mantua. The story follows a hunchbacked court jester who is mocked by the court but protects his beloved daughter Gilda, until a terrible mistake brings his world crashing down.
Danish opera singer Gert Henning-Jensen, who has performed this very role at the Royal Danish Theatre, visits the cinema to introduce the film and share his personal experiences with the part, the music and the world of opera.
