Deutsche Oper am Rhein
Düsseldorf
Also on January 29 – 6:30 PM and February 3 – 7.30 PM.
Role: Rigoletto
“Rigoletto is the one role that I have performed most often throughout my career. And yet, every time I perform it, I am amazed by the sheer beauty and fullness of melodic line and pathos. To maintain these qualities throughout the course of an entire evening is very gratifying and a true labor of love.”
Based on Victor Hugo`s play “Le Roi s`amuse” the story focuses on “the curse” that Monterone places on Rigoletto. After mocking Monterone and his daughter in front of the Duke and his court, Monterone curses Rigoletto to suffer the same cruel fate.
