'Rigoletto' by Giuseppe Verdi was banned in France in 1832. Verdi's opera premiered successfully and began touring theaters throughout Europe.
The last production premiered in Spain, staged by Miguel del Arco, was booed at its premiere at the Teatro Real in Madrid last December. The production is now in Bilbao and will later stop at the Maestranza in Seville. The King Has Amusement is the great example of censored opera and how a composer's intelligence manages to outwit it.
