Giuseppe Verdi’s
masterwork – compelling, blood-curdling and beautiful – is being performed
for the first time on the breathtaking water stage of Lake Constance,
Bregenz. One of Verdi’s most popular works, Rigoletto is an unforgettable tale
of a sacrifice and revenge; of a father’s rage and a daughter’s shame. It
features several of opera’s best-known arias-including Rigoletto’s
passionate denouncement “Cortigiani, vil razza dannata,” Gilda’s dreamy
“Caro nome” and the Duke’s instantly recognizable “La donna è mobile. Featuring
Bulgarian baritone Vladimir
Stoyanov as Rigoletto, French soprano Mélissa Petit
as Gilda, and American tenor Stephen
Costello as the Duke of Mantua. (140 Mins, incl. 15 min
intermission)
