Verdi's opera about a doomed hunchbacked jester is relocated to 1950s New York gangland in Jonathan Miller's engaging production for the ENO. It's been revived a whopping 13 times since its debut in 1982, thanks to its winning blend of gorgeous music and mafioso drama.
Elaine Tyler-Hall directs this revival, with Nicholas Pallesen as 'Rigoletto'. Sir Richard Armstrong conducts. Sung in English, with surtitles.
