Opera Theatre Company is touring Verdi's operatic masterpiece Rigoletto from 15 - 30 May. Directed by Selina Cartmell in a newly commissioned translation by Marina Carr.
Opening in the National Opera House Wexford, then traveling to An Tain Arts Centre Dundalk, Solstice Arts Centre Navan, O'Reilly Theatre Dublin, An Grianan Letterkenny, Watergate Theatre Kilkenny and Lime Tree Theatre Limerick.

When a father’s love goes too far…. when his instinct to protect blinds him to the consequences…. when innocence meets debauchery…. the result is a potent cocktail of lust, power, revenge and betrayal, all distilled into a musical experience of unparalleled intensity. 

Critically acclaimed theatre director Selina Cartmell (winner Best Director Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards) dramatically reimagined the piece in a newly commissioned contemporary translation by Irish playwright Marina Carr, which transported this medieval tale into our time and our world.

Based on Victor Hugo’s play Le roi s’amuse, the tragic story revolves around the attempts of a desperate father Rigoletto and his efforts to protect Gilda his innocent daughter from the amorous attentions of his amoral boss The Duke.

Sung in English, Rigoletto was full of exquisite duets and instantly recognisable music– especially the famous tenor aria 'La donna è mobile' (All women are fickle).
