Directed by Harry Silverstein, San Francisco Opera's 2012 production of Giuseppe Verdi's suspenseful tragedy Rigoletto showcases the creative collaboration of set designer Michael Yeargan, whose sets evoke the shadowy architectural art of Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico, costume designer Constance Hoffman and lighting designer Christopher Maravich. The Mercury News calls Serbian baritone Željko Lučić's portrayal of the hunchbacked court jester Rigoletto "majestic." In her Company debut, Polish soprano Aleksandra Kurzak is Rigoletto's daughter, Gilda, who sings "Caro nome," her Act I showpiece, "impeccably" (San Francisco Chronicle).
