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
Verdi fills this tragedy with melodies you will likely recognise, including the famous aria La donna è mobile. It is a sharp, fast-moving story of a cursed court jester and his daughter that remains one of the most effective entries for anyone curious about the sheer power of grand opera.
