Verdi's "Rigoletto" is updated to 1960s-era Las Vegas, where a womanizing lounge singer (Piotr Beczala) seduces the daughter (Diana Damrau) of his sidekick (Zeljko Lucic), causing his pal to seek revenge by hiring a hit man (Stefan Kocán) to off him. Originally broadcast live in movie theaters as part of The Met: Live in HD series.
