Sung in Italian with English surtitles

Verdi's great masterpiece is a chilling, dark-hearted tragedy whose central father/daughter pairing brings us to the depths of despair as a result of obsessive love, betrayal and murder. Prepare for a unique and intense operatic experience. The score, one of Verdi’s best-loved and most melodious, is by turns insouciant (La donna è mobile), or tragically profound, but always of great dramatic richness, variety, and beauty, climaxing with the great Act III quartet.

Rigoletto is the magnificent centrepiece of the If Opera 2025 season.
