Powered by Dimitri Platanias, this other acclaimed production by McVicar is proving to be one of the darkest, most cruel renderings of this work, which Verdi himself considered as his masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Rigoletto, court jester to the libertine Duke of Mantua, is cursed by the father of one of the Duke\u2019s victims for his irreverent laughter. When the Duke seduces Rigoletto\u2019s daughter Gilda, it seems the curse is taking effect. David McVicar\u2019s production highlights the cruelty at the heart of the court of Mantua. Richly dressed courtiers engage in orgies and revelries to Verdi\u2019s heady, spirited dances. The opera\u2019s many musical highlights include: the ebullient \u201cLa donna \u00e8 mobile\u201d, in which the Duke boasts of his disregard for women; Gilda\u2019s exquisite, plangent duets with Rigoletto and the Duke; and the gorgeous Act III quartet that beautifully weaves the voices together as the story quickens to its shattering conclusion.
\nGiuseppe Verdi wrote in 1855 that Rigoletto was his \u201cbest opera\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11276,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","actor":[],"class_list":["post-11297","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","genre-opera"],"wpcf-titre-original":"","wpcf-realisation":"","acteurs":null,"pays":"","distributeur":"","wpcf-date-de-sortie":"1516492800","wpcf-date-de-sortie-en-texte":"","wpcf-duree-du-film":"165","wpcf-flag-laissez-passer-refuse":false,"wpcf-flag-custom":"OPERA","photos":false,"nominations":false,"wpcf-bande-annonce-fr":"","wpcf-bande-annonce-en":"LE5KmS6zKfI","critiques":null,"classification":[],"indication":[],"_custom_thumbnail":{"url":null,"top":null,"left":null},"document_pedagogique":null,"dossier_de_presse":null,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Royal Opera - Rigoletto - La maison du cin\u00e9ma<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/old.lamaisonducinema.com\/en\/movie\/royal-opera-rigoletto\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Royal Opera - Rigoletto - La maison du cin\u00e9ma\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Powered by Dimitri Platanias, this other acclaimed production by McVicar is proving to be one of the darkest, most cruel renderings of this work, which Verdi himself considered as his masterpiece.
