Brilliantly relocating the original Renaissance court setting of Verdi’s great revenge drama to the vendetta-driven culture of 1950s Mafia-run New York, Jonathan Miller’s ‘Little Italy’ staging of Rigoletto was acclaimed as a classic when it was first seen in 1982 and has remained in ENO’s repertoire ever since.
For its latest revival, leading Verdi baritone Anthony Michaels-Moore, who has sung the title role to acclaim in Brussels, Vienna and the Netherlands, now sings it for the first time on the British stage. Recently praised in the Financial Times for conducting ‘with a fire and articulation worthy of Toscanini’, Stephen Lord, Music Director of the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, makes his UK debut in Verdi’s darkly dramatic, melody-driven score.
