A father’s obsessive love
Can you go too far in protecting your child from worldly dangers? Verdi’s Rigoletto tells the story of a father who locks his daughter away in an attempt to protect her from his abusive employer, the Duke of Mantua, a womaniser who regularly oversteps the mark. All of Rigoletto’s efforts, however, turn out to be in vain.
