Rigoletto: Komische Oper Berlin & Dinner in Gendarmerie
About the Event
'A comic opera that goes horribly wrong' – see Barrie Kosky’s celebrated staging of Verdi’s masterpiece at the Komische Oper Berlin.
The work returns to the schedule with a new cast under the guidance of General Musical Director Ainārs Rubiķis – and is sung in Italian. 'Planned as a nightmare, shot through with all manner of clowning, it grows into an adventure of musical theatre that is truly beyond compare.' (Berliner Morgenpost)
