Episode Synopsis

Rigoletto is not just the story of a curse. It's also a story of oppressors and the oppressed. Giuseppe Verdi wrote it at 40 years of age, a critical point for every human being: a time of changes, of maturity, midlife. To bring to light "Rigoletto" and its symbols, Gener travels to the island of Menorca. At 40-year-old Verdi places all his hopes, dreams and frustrations into one of the most popular and fascinating characters from the world of music.
