Opera
Rigoletto
Giuseppe Verdi
Megaron, The Athens Concert Hall
One of Verdi’s most popular operas, Rigoletto returns to the GNO in the successful production of director Nikos S. Petropoulos, who has also designed the sets and costumes. He transports the action from 16th century Mantua to Mussolini’s Italy just before the outbreak of the Second World War. The decadent environment of the wanton Duke of Mantua is a perfect match for this age of conspiracy and arrogance. Verdi’s intensely dramatic music ties into the atmosphere of a time when everyone and everything exists in the shadows.
The main roles are performed by: Carlos Almaguer, Nelson Martinez, Mario Zaffiri, Yiannis Christopoulos, Rame Lahaj, Vassiliki Karayianni, Maria Mitsopoulou and Christina Poulitsi
With the participation of the GNO Orchestra and Choir
