Following their highly successful production of Tosca last year,
Kentish Opera is delighted to present Verdi's distinguished opera
Rigoletto at the EM Forster Theatre, Tonbridge School.
This opera features
some of Verdi's most brilliant music including the famous tenor
aria, La Donna e mobile, and Gilda's aria Caro nome. The opera
deals with the escapades of the Duke of Mantua aided by his deformed
court jester, Rigoletto. He taunts Monterone, whose daughter
was seduced by the Duke, and Monterone calls a curse upon them.
Tragically, Rigoletto's daughter is carried off to the Duke to
suffer the same fate. Rigoletto plots his revenge but things
do not go as planned and the curse comes back to haunt him.
Kentish Opera's
dramatic production is conducted by Mark Fitz-Gerald,directed
by Sally Langford and designed by Enid Strutt and Carol Stevenson
with principals from the major opera houses.
