One of the worlds most popular operas, Verdi's Rigoletto is a superb combination of musical and dramatic power. David McVicar's production of Rigoletto for The Royal Opera has become a favourite, with its strong characterizations and vivid scenes. It brings together the corrupt yet colourful world of the 16th-century court in Mantua and the opera's dark and violent themes, which remain just as potent today as they were then.
Dan Ettinger makes his debut at the Royal Opera House conducting a strong cast including Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Paolo Gavanelli sharing the title role. With Wookyung Kim as the Duke and Eglise Gutiérrez as Gilda, such famous numbers as 'La donna è mobile' and 'Caro nome' will be wonderful highlights of a Verdi musica score that is packed with melody and atmosphere from its opening portentous chords to its tragic conclusion.
