Verdi's Rigoletto
Presented by Louise Fryer

Verdi's tragic and provocative tale of the cynical court jester who, against his better nature, wreaks havoc with the lives of others. But then the tables are turned and he's doomed to bring about the death of the one person he holds most dear - his daughter Gilda. In this revival of David McVicar's production for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, conducted by Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Dimitri Platanias is the hunchback jester, Ekaterina Siurina his daughter Gilda, and Vittorio Grigolo the handsome, amoral Duke who poses as a penniless student to gain Gilda's love.
