Rigoletto in Saint Petersburg, Hermitage Theater

Please note that the cast may change.

Director: Yuri Alexandrov.

The opera Rigoletto at the Hermitage Theatre is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of classical music and theatre art. Inspired by Victor Hugo's drama The King Amuses Himself, Giuseppe Verdi created a work that still excites the hearts of audiences.

For the first time in the history of the opera, the main character is a court jester who, despite his outward ugliness, has a sharp mind and a cruel character. In the new production, the director offers an unusual view of Rigoletto: he is not a hunchback, but an intelligent and caustic man who wears the mask of a jester only at the Duke's court. However, his moral ugliness cannot be hidden behind his appearance. Rigoletto, forced to endure humiliation, amuses himself with intrigues and participates in dirty games, which ultimately leads to tragic consequences - death of his daughter Gilda.

The production at the Hermitage Theatre stands out for its luxurious and exquisite costumes, which create a historical atmosphere. The characters, dressed in expensive fabrics and intricate masks, seem to come to life on stage, transporting the audience to the era of the old masters. Thoughtfulness of details and excellent acting make the performance integral and impressive. The musical performance meets the high standards set by Verdi himself and gives true pleasure to opera lovers.
