Court jester Rigoletto does everything in his power to protect his daughter from the licentious duke who has charmed her. Sometimes, though, a parent’s protective instincts can prove more harmful than their cause.
“[Albina Shagimuratova’s] radiant soprano dispatches the gorgeous lines and elaborate ornamentation with agility and flair, glistening in her top notes, virtuosic in her trills and flourishes.” — Houston Chronicle
A bitter court jester pits himself against his master in a hopeless
effort to protect his daughters virtue. Three shining young
artists—Studio alums Scott Hendricks and Albina Shagimuratova, along
with Eric Cutler—star as the hunchback Rigoletto, his adored daughter
Gilda and the lecherous, remorseless Duke of Mantua. Patrick Summers
conducts Verdis distinguished tragedy.
