Rigoletto

A tragic story of jealousy, vengeance and sacrifice, Rigoletto is one of Verdi's most popular operas. Jonathan Miller's much-loved 'Mafia' production makes a welcome return to the ENO stage, relocating the action to New York's Little Italy in the 1950s

Featuring some of opera's most immediately recognisable music, including 'Women abandon us' ('La donna è mobile'), Verdi's thrilling score will be conducted by Sir Richard Armstrong. Leading the cast is Nicholas Pallesen in the title role, alongside lyric tenor Joshua Guerrero as 'The Duke' and Sydney Mancasola as Rigoletto's love-stricken daughter Gilda.
