Rigoletto - Live Opera at Sale Waterside

Fully staged performance with piano of Verdi's Rigoletto in Italian (with surtitles). Barry Purves and Jonathan Ellis renew their successful 2015 collaboration in Il Trovatore.

Bare Boards Opera presents an intense chamber production of Giuseppe Verdi's thrilling tragedy at the Waterside in an accessible and theatrically dynamic production, bringing out the personal drama of the undeniably dark story and its' ill fated characters.

The piece is filled with instantly recognisable melodies, including the showstopping ‘La donna e mobile'; the painfully ironic aria about the infidelity of women; and the celebrated Quartet. From the opening glowering overture, the drama of the opera gathers momentum until the inevitable heartbreaking finale. This is a perfect and relevant production for anyone curious about discovering the raw power of opera.

Our special matinee event will be an informal workshop with some of the cast looking at what opera is, how it works, and how the music is used to illustrate the drama and its characters. You will have a chance to hear several arias deconstructed and to learn from singers about how they vocally approach such a piece. The director and music director will talk about the controversial history of this opera, and the thinking behind this particular production.
