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 packs this tragedy with melodies you will likely recognise, including the famous La donna è mobile. It is a brilliant entry point if you are new to opera, offering a gripping story of revenge and parental protection that unfolds over a fast-paced three hours, including intervals.
