Verdi himself believed that the plot of “Rigoletto”, borrowed from “The King amuses himself”, drama by Victor Hugo, was the best one ever set to music by him. For the first time in opera history, the main character was an old world-hating hunchback court jester!
Under the direction of Yuri Alexandrov, the St. Petersburg Chamber Opera production of “Rigoletto” delivers a different take on this psychological drama, where instead of being merely a hunchback, the court jester is a sarcastic, witty, and angry man, and not old at all! His hump and mask are nothing but the clownish appearance that he wears only at the Duke’s court. However, moral ugliness cannot be thrown away like a mask.
The St. Petersburg Opera is known as one of the best music theatres in Russia and abroad, led by its founder and artistic director, People’s Artist of Russia, Yuri Alexandrov, whose performances were staged in the world’s most prestigious venues, including Arena di Verona, Metropolitan Opera, and La Scala.
Don’t miss this exquisite opera production where lavish costumes, acting and superb musical performance will leave you in utter enchantment.
