Opera in Cinema: Rigoletto

Rigoletto
Giuseppe Verdi
Opera in three acts
From the Royal Opera House
Sung in Italian with English subtitles
Running time: 129 minutes (approx)
A classic of opera, Verdi's famous score is loved for its melody and its drama. David McVicar's immensely popular production, in period costume, brings the 15th-century court of Mantua alive: its womanizing Duke, the court jester Rigoletto bent on revenge and his daughter, Gilda, who the Duke loves but still destroys. A celebrated score of familiar music conducted by John Eliot Gardiner, and a drama of the passions of love and hate.
