Bregenzer Festspiele Brings RIGOLETTO To The Bregenz Lake Stage

Rigoletto, the classic tragedy by Giuseppe Verdi, is being performed for the first time on the Bregenz lake stage.

With stage direction by Philipp Stölzl, the three act opera is set to premiere 17 July, 2019.

An unforgettable tale of a father's rage and a daughter's shame, Rigoletto has long been one of the most popular works in the entire operatic repertoire. It features several of opera's best-known arias-including Rigoletto's passionate denouncement "Cortigiani, vil razza dannata," Gilda's dreamy "Caro nome" and the Duke's instantly recognizable "La donna è mobile." A timeless tragedy of sacrifice, betrayal and revenge, it was first performed in 1851, and was the first of the extraordinary "middle-period" trio of Verdi masterpieces that also includes La Traviata and Il Trovatore.

The production is going to be sung in Italian and will feature German subtitles.
