RIGOLETTO  -  Giuseppe Verdi

In Italian with English surtitles

At the Duke’s infamous parties, .......  one man’s words light the darkness with a sinister glitter. Among the glamorous girls and greasy gangsters, Rigoletto serves his master with sharp wits and averted eyes. He’s hideous. He’s hated. He’s untouchable. But in this shimmering world of secrets and seduction, can he keep the one he loves most safe? This production of Rigoletto by Elijah Moshinsky, with Dalibor Jenis in the title role has replaced the production by Roger Hodgman originally announced for Opera Australia’s 2018 season.

A shimmering world of secrets and seduction From the moment he wrote it, Verdi knew he had a hit on his hands. The story had everything: royalty, loyalty, deformity, devotion, lust and revenge.

And the music? The music was sensational, so full of hummable tunes that Verdi demanded complete secrecy from his première cast. The tenor was forbidden from even whistling the catchy ‘La donna è mobile’ outside of rehearsals. The morning after Rigoletto’s triumphant première, that melody rang out in the streets: a hit for ever after. The title character Verdi called the “greatest creation” in the history of theatre had found a home in a masterpiece of music. Elijah Moshinsky’s much-loved production of Rigoletto returns to the Sydney Opera House stage, complete with its glamorous La Dolce Vita-inspired sets and costumes and scene-stealing Fiat 500. The revolving dolls-house style set gives a cinematic detail to each scene.

Konzertant-Sinfonisches in beeindruckender Qualität   Großér Bahnhof in einem kleinen Dorf. Nur wenige Häuser, Reste eines ehemaligen Klosters, ein rustikaler, historischer „Fährkrug“  und ein Landgut (Hotel) – das ist Stolpe an der Peene, gelegen an der Bundesstraße 110 zwischen Jarmen und Anklam in Mecklenburg Vorpommern. Aber dann ist da noch die riesige
