Rigoletto - Opera Film – Sarasota Opera House, Sarasota

About this event

This presentation is a high-definition film screening of the Royal Opera House's production of Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto, originally staged in 2021. Directed by Oliver Mears in his Royal Opera debut, the production frames Verdi's masterpiece as a modern morality play. The staging pits power against innocence, setting the narrative within a decadent world characterized by corruption and social decay. The filmed performance is led by conductor Antonio Pappano and features a distinguished cast, including Carlos Álvarez in the title role, Lisette Oropesa as Gilda, and Liparit Avetisyan as the Duke of Mantua. As an "HD at the Opera House" event, the screening brings this acclaimed international staging to local audiences in Sarasota.
