Rigoletto

Synopsis

France’s most tradition-steeped theatre festival, the Chorégies d’Orange, presents Verdi’s Rigoletto on the open air stage of the city’s ancient Roman theatre – Europe’s best preserved amphitheatre – in a staging by Charles Roubaud. Sung by Leo Nucci, the title role of the tragic hero Rigoletto, hunchbacked court jester of the Duke of Mantua, appears “more touching than ever”. He and Nadine Sierra as his daughter Gilda form a “perfect symbiosis which inevitably leaves you speechless – an exceptional evening full of adrenaline” (ForumOpéra).
