The MidAtlantic Opera Company will present a fully-staged production of Giuseppe Verdi's well-loved classic, Rigoletto, conducted by Jason C. Tramm and stage directed by Eric Gibson.

There will only be one not-to-be-missed performance on Sunday October 26, 2014 at 5:00 pm at the Ridge Performing Arts Center, Basking Ridge, NJ. The cast features baritone Jason Stearns (Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Savonlinna Festival, and the Los Angeles Opera) as Rigoletto, tenor Alok Kumar (Cincinnati Opera and Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre) as the Duke of Mantua, and soprano Jamilyn Manning-White (NY Gotham Chamber Opera, Heartbeat Opera and Berkshire Theatre Festival) as Gilda. The MidAtlantic Opera Orchestra will accompany the cast which will include additional principal roles and a men's ensemble (full cast list is listed below).
