A Successful Adaptation

In 1855, Giuseppe Verdi wrote that Rigoletto, based on Victor Hugo’s play Le Roi s’amuse, was his ‘best opera’. The Italian composer struggled to overcome state censorship to stage the work – the censors objected to its depiction of an immoral ruler – but Verdi was eventually vindicated by the premiere’s huge success in 1885. Rigoletto was subsequently performed 250 times in the next 10 years and has remained one of the most popular of all operas.

Unforgettable Melodies

Lavishly dressed courtiers indulge in orgies and revelry against Verdi’s heady, spirited dances. The playboy Duke boasts of his disregard for women in the swaggering ‘La donna è mobile’. Gilda gives her trembling declaration of love in ‘Caro nome’. These are just a few of Rigoletto’s many musical highlights, which also include the gorgeous and ever-popular Act III quartet that beautifully weaves together the voices of its protagonists before quickening to a shattering conclusion. Julia Jones and Renato Balsadonna conduct two stunning casts in Oliver Mears' darkly elegant production of Verdi’s devastating masterpiece.
