RIGOLETTO - The opening of the opera

Borsa= Baldrick in this prod. Nice voice, Duca, but worry for your high Bs in the later acts if you can't manage the Bb here...

I dislike most English Opera. I like this You Tube Clip, this production is campy and the cast looks as if they are enjoying it.

I never like any opera to be transelated to english. No offense to English language but it just loses the drama.

[listeningtoit]

Well. Costumes, stage direction and dances absolutely great. Good voices. But I must say it´s so weird to listen to a Verdi opera translated to English!!! It´s a bit ridiculous. Nothing against the English language. I love it. But opera must be performed in the original language!!!

Must? Who says? Everyone is entitled to their preferences or prejudices, but there's no rule, and there's a very strong case for audience comprehension in a musical drama, without being distracted by reading sub-captions.

[Pavarotti4eva]

true. it all boils down to personal opinion.

[traubloch]

brilliant

[chevrox]

[peterrunnalls]

A refreshingly enjoyable production
