STAGE TUBE: Tony Winner Michael Mayer Talks Modern Take on RIGOLETTO for the Met (TV Content)


Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer will make his Met debut with a new production of Verdi's Rigoletto, in a staging that moves the opera's tragic events from a decadent 16th-century Italian court to the glitzy, depraved setting of the Las Vegas strip circa 1960. Mayer stopped by PBS' THIRTEEN to talk about the new production. Watch the interview below!

Watch Profile: Michael Mayer on PBS. See more from NYC-ARTS.
