Rigoletto: Teatro Real

About the Event

Recognize the harsh divide between appearance and reality that drives Verdi's dramatic masterpiece.

David McVicar's celebrated production delves into the darkness that seethes just below the surface of the Mantuan court, and explores the ambiguity of the title character. Leo Nucci, one of the greatest Rigolettos of our time, sings the title role with a constellation of young stars filling out the cast.
