| Summary: | The story of Rigoletto set in New York's mob-controlled Little Italy in the 1950's. Rigoletto, a clowning bartender, moves about in a world of criminals, thieves and murderers--a world he keeps his beloved daughter Gilda well away from. During a party, Rigoletto angers Don Monterone who puts a curse on him. And so, a fatal chain of events is set in motion as Gilda meets the philandering Duke and the story moves to its tragic conclusion.
