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
You likely already know the famous, swaggering tenor tune La donna è mobile, but hearing it within this dark tale of a cursed jester is a different experience entirely. This production features the legendary Sir Willard White, bringing immense presence to a gripping drama that remains one of opera’s most accessible tragedies.
