About
Rigoletto is regarded as the first operatic masterpiece of Verdi’s mature artistic period. Its complex psychology identifies characters with different styles of music, and with an incredible variety of accents for a central figure conceived by the composer as ‘deformed and laughable, but actually passionate and full of love’. From the famous aria La donna è mobile, to the final horrific tragedy as the curse unfolds, the triumphant success of Rigoletto since its premiere in 1851 has endured to the present day. Modern stage by the Italian Director Davide Livermore. Outstanding cast and superb interpretation, in particular the baritone Luca Salsi and the Soprano Enkeleda Kamani who is a very pleasant revelation.

Camarena, a star of the bel canto repertoire, eschews the ‘bravado’ approach taken by many tenors and brings a beautiful light, silvery tone to the role of the Duke. His voice pairs perfectly with that of Enkeleda Kamani, a young Albanian singer surely destined for great things...Compelling, too, is Luca Salsi’s believable portrayal of Rigoletto.
