Insights into The Royal Opera’s new production of Verdi’s Rigoletto

Discover all there is to know about Oliver Mears’s spectacular new production of Rigoletto – his first at Covent Garden since becoming Director of The Royal Opera. Joining him will be members of the cast and creative team with a mixture of interviews and performances. Oliver Mears’ first production as Director of The Royal Opera sees Verdi’s masterpiece as a modern morality play that pits power against innocence, beauty against ugliness, in a pitiless world of luxurious decadence, corruption and social decay. Antonio Pappano and Paul Wynne Griffiths conduct in the Autumn, with Carlos Álvarez in the title role alongside Lisette Oropesa and Liparit Avetisyan. In February Stefano Montanari conducts a cast that includes Luca Salsi, Rosa Feola and Javier Camarena. Generously supported by Rolex
