Summary
Patrick Lange conducts Opera North’s production of Verdi’s Rigoletto at Leeds Grand Theatre, featuring baritone Blake Denson in the title role alongside Jasmine Habersham and Sir Willard White.
Why it's fantastic
This tragedy features one of the most recognisable melodies in all of music, a swaggering tenor aria that everyone knows even if they have never seen an opera. It is a gritty, fast-paced story of corruption and revenge that feels remarkably modern despite being written in the nineteenth century.
