Rigoletto, although @ bad man, has one tender point, his love for his daughter Gilda, whom he brings up carefully, keeping her hidden from the world and its wickedness. But the Duke of Mantua discovers her and gains her love under the assumed name of a student, Gualtier Malde. By his orders Gilda is carried off from her home. Rigoletto blinded by a mask, assists in her abduction, believing that it is Count. Ceprano’s wife and discovers only too late that he has been duped. Later he rescues her from the Duke’s Palace. Gilda implores her father to pardon the Duke, whom she still loves, but Rigoletto Swears vengeance, and engages Sparafucile to stab the Duke. Sparafucile decoys him to his inn and with the aid of his sister Maddalena intends to kill him. But Maddalena also falls in love with the Duke, and Sparafucile agrees to spare him if another victim turns up before midnight. Rigoletto persuades Gilda to leave town, but before she goes takes her to the inn to show her the Duke’s fickleness. She comes to the inn in male attire and, overhearing the plot- between Sparafucile and Maddalena, resolves to save her lover. She enters the inn, is stabbed by Sparafucile and put in a sack and given to Rigoletto as the Duke. As Rigoletto goes to the river to throw in the sack he hears the

Duke’s voice.
