Production originally performed at the Irish National Opera. Significant changes were made to the Jester Face colors and textures for the Santa Fe Opera production.
Rigoletto's Jester Stick was used for light tests on stage, which inspired the significant color changes to the face pieces and Rigoletto's Act I costume hat.
