“Rigoletto” Screening At Tradewinds Auditorium
Bermuda’s Gilbert & Sullivan Society wants you to spend a night at the opera with them on Saturday [Mar. 23] when they will be hosting a screening of Verdi’s “Rigoletto” at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute’s Tradewinds Auditorium.
Director Michael Mayer has placed his new New York Metropolitan Opera production of Verdi’s towering tragedy in Las Vegas in 1960—an ideal setting for this eternal conflict of depravity and innocence.
In this production, inspired by the antics of Frank Sinatra’s legendary Rat Pack, Piotr Beczala is the womanising Duke of Mantua, with Željko Lucic as his tragic sidekick, Rigoletto. Diana Damrau is Rigoletto’s daughter—and their victim.
Michele Mariotti conducts.
The screening begins at 5 p.m. Tickets are $35/$30 for students and can be purchased at the door or on-line at www.premierticketsglobal.com
