    A Good Production

    Overall, this is a strong production of Rigoletto which is well worth seeing, especially for Paolo Gavanelli's brilliant vocal and acting performance as the cursed jester. The Duke is less impressive, more power than subtlety. This version is visually striking, with sets that have been carefully thought out to provide an interesting accompaniment to the acting and singing. The revealing scenes at the beginning are a wholly appropriate way of showing the levels of depravity that were often inherent among European aristocrats!

    Stunning

    No has beens in the cast, a new production that is certainly different. Singers, acting, story line. If you don't normally like opera then try this, it shows what opera could be. If you're an opera lover, this will make you sit up.
