Opera in three acts, in Italian, with Hungarian, English, and Italian subtitles
The lecherous noblemen of the Mantuan court must be entertained, and a deformed jester spares no one his jeers to ensure that they are. And yet he prays that the scathing mockery he heaps on the suffering of others will not return to haunt him.
All he must do is seal his work off from his family life. But when ...
