Verdi: Rigoletto
Against the breathtaking backdrop of the Théâtre Antique d’Orange, Europe’s best preserved amphitheatre, the festival Chorégies d’Orange presents Verdi’s masterpiece Rigoletto. Legendary Italian baritone Leo Nucci teams up with rising star Nadine Sierra for a “perfect symbiosis which inevitably leaves you speechless” (ForumOpéra). In this open-air performance of Rigoletto, staged by Charles Roubaud on a monumental scale, the excellent cast is supported by the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France, led by Mikko Franck. The joint forces of the Choirs of the Operas of Avignon, Monte-Carlo and Nice add to the vibrant atmosphere – a Rigoletto “charged with adrenaline!” (ForumOpéra)
