Rigoletto
Opéra Bastille
19h30
Dress Cocktail attire
A disconsolate father staring at the lifeless body of his child. Such is the heart-wrenching image that confronts us in the final bars of Rigoletto. Taking that tragedy as a starting point, Claus Guth crafts a production in which the jester sees his life unfurling once more – a humiliating farce sweetened only by the presence of his daughter. In the sanctuary of a poetically modern scenography and haunted by the indelible memory of Gilda, Rigoletto again hears her being drawn towards the Duke of Mantua’s mendacious declarations of love: “Caro nome…” An air of innocence that counts among the finest that Verdi ever composed for a soprano.
