Rigoletto (The Royal Opera) ROH Live – Anniversary Screening

Live from Royal Opera House

ANNIVERSARY SCREENING (performed in September 2021): Part of our 2021/22 Live Arts Series, streamed from the Royal Opera House to our cinema screen and in full surround sound.

In a pitiless world of luxurious decadence, corruption and social decay, Director of The Royal Opera Oliver Mears sets his scene. In his first work for his own Company, Mears brings Verdi’s masterpiece into the modern world. Verdi’s thrilling Rigoletto pits power against innocence, beauty against ugliness, conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano. This special anniversary screening of Verdi’s Rigoletto celebrates 171 years since its premiere in 1851.
