| | Two of the principal singers, Cheryl Parrish as Gilda and Mark Rucker as Rigoletto, are new to Vancouver Opera. | | | THE melodic and dramatic appeal of Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto -- undiminished since its successful premiere 150 years ago -- can easily withstand the imperfections inevitable in any production. | | | The chorus, prepared by Leslie Uyeda, was in top form, proving yet again that it is Vancouver Opera's most dependable asset. |

| | Antigone (opera) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | While Antigone has never been as popular as, say, Rigoletto, it has set new standards for the orchestra, the singers and the committed listener. | | | The structure of the work, its heavy emotional content, its novel fabrics of sound, all demand more of the listener than required in the usual opera performance. | | | Antigone is in Orff's words a "musical setting" for the Greek tragedy by Sophocles of the same name. |

| | In the case of Rigoletto, though, he was explicit, saying that he conceived the opera as "an unending string of duets." | | | [D]uring the first performance of Rigoletto, when the violins announced that most elegant of motifs in the final act, the attentive public foresaw something new, and the tenor Mirate, seated astride a chair in Sparafucile's tavern, energetically and impudently attacked the piece. | | | This article appears in slightly different form in Sunday's USItalia. |

| | Rigoletto (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The movie was apparently not based on the opera Rigoletto. | | | Rigoletto is a 1993 musical fantasy/drama produced for Feature Films for Families and described by Debbie James as "kind of a cross between Beauty and the Beast and The Man Without a Face, but with biblical themes" [1]. | | | The film, set in depression-era America, depicts a young girl, Bonnie, who enjoys singing and gets lessons from the "monster" whom the townspeople suspect of foreclosing on mortgages all over town. |

| | On the DVD Rigoletto comes with an entertaining 17-minute BBC biography of the composer, "Verdi Through the Looking Glass", presented by conductor Charles Hazlewood, as well as an illustrated synopsis of the opera, and a revealing 10-minute interview with the director. | | | Michael Vale's set is a masterpiece of economy--both the Duke's palace and Rigoletto's home are surrounded by broken objects, wire fencing and gloomy shadows--and Edward Downes draws some stunning playing from the Royal Opera Orchestra. | | | Paolo Gavanelli is a great actor and a wonderful singer in one of the best Rigoletto performances I've seen. |

| | Verdi's Macbeth |
| | Entire operas were written with specific singers in mind: Bellini's Norma for Giuditta Pasta, Verdi's Rigoletto for Varesi, II Corsaro for the baritone Ronconi; and when it came for Verdi to write Ernani he had been prompted to write the opera because, as he put it, a "prima donna" opera was needed. | | | Macbeth is either totally at the mercy of the sorcerer's predictions, or of his wife's perverse will. | | | The listener's responses are commensurate with Macbeth's and Lady Macbeth's lack of virtue; their lack of sweetness and light (to borrow Matthew Arnold's words) compel us to recoil from them in confusion and spiritual disarray; we listen with fascination but never do we identify with them. |

| | The cycle started with Rigoletto in 1989 and is due to wind up with Aida and Jerusalem in 2013. | | | "There are scholars, music lovers and Verdi lovers who feel the original is better than the revised," said DeRenzi, who will conduct Macbeth and figures about a third of the opera differs between the 1847 and 1865 versions. | | | The opera is another of Verdi's Shakespearean adaptations, but this time it's a tragedy, Macbeth, written relatively early in the composer's career. |

| | Onstage are Verdi's "Rigoletto;" Rossini's "Cinderella" ("La Cenerentola"); the modern Marsha Newman/Lucy Simon musical, "The Secret Garden;" and Lerner and Loewe's venerable "Brigadoon." The two English-language musicals as well as the two Italian operas feature English supertitles so nary a word is missed. | | | The season also includes orchestral and vocal concerts, along with literary seminars, pre-performance discussions, backstage tours, and even a classic film series -- in the same elegant theater where the operas are staged. | | | The fact that Utah Festival Opera was recognized in its infancy by Money magazine as standing among the top 20 warm-weather opera companies in the world -- and one of only three west of the Mississippi --attests to the soundness of that decision. |
