Rigoletto is not Wagner, it is actually a fairly short piece. This is opera in a palace, moving from room to room, as if you are living it. They don't have stage sets to change, and there is no chorus, so they will easily finish by 10:30. Dinner afterward, as long as it's nearby, should not be a problem (as always, with a reservation).
