Discover ‘Rigoletto’ by Verdi - 18.02.10

After the success of I Capuleti e i Montecchi OperaLive is proud to present Rigoletto, the second of three operas broadcasted via the internet.

Rigoletto is an intense drama of passion, betrayal and revenge, based on the play “Le Roi s’Amuse” by French poet and playwright Victor Hugo. It was one of Giuseppe Verdi’s major triumphs. Directed by Philippe Sireuil and conducted by Paolo Arrivabeni, the opera is performed by an amazing international cast with stars like Mark Rucker, Cinzia Forte, Luciano Montanaro, Helen Leplalaan and many more. The roles of Giovanna and Count Ceprano are sung by two members of the Opéra Royal de Wallonie’s own choir: Laura Balidemaj and Pierre Gathier.

Rigoletto: Paolo Arrivabeni

The opera will be broadcasted live on March 23rd and will be available online until 5 days one month after the live broadcast. Tickets are available here.

What happens behind the scenes? - 12.02.10

Mostly, as a spectator of opera, you only get to see the performance itself. For I Capuleti e i Montecchi we got to get a look behind the scenes: make up, costumes, the silent mental preparation right before the opera starts.

Here are some pictures we would like to share with you from I Capuleti e i Montecchi. You can see Patrizia Ciofi (Giulietta) and Laura Polverelli (Romeo) in make up, conductor Luciano Acocella being interviewed and a look at the technical set-up.
