  • Rigoletto Final
    Media Contacts: David M. Paule [email protected] 404-881-9194 Verdi’s Rigoletto Returns To The Atlanta Opera A Vibrant New Production Originally Directed By Tomer Zvulun Marks The Atlanta Opera’s 35th Year of Mainstage Productions ATLANTA – (January 19, 2015) - The Atlanta Opera celebrates its 35th year of live productions with Giuseppe Verdi’s tragic masterpiece, Rigoletto. This new, visually stimulating production is a co- production of Boston Lyric Opera, The Atlanta Opera, and Opera Omaha and was originally directed by The Atlanta Opera’s General & Artistic Director Tomer Zvulun. Not seen on The Atlanta Opera stage since 2000, Rigoletto will be presented on February 28 and March 3, 6 and 8 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. Single tickets, ranging from $26 to $137, plus convenience and venue fees, are on sale now and can be purchased online at atlantaopera.org or by calling 404-881-8885. Season tickets are still available as well, offering patrons the best seats at the best prices. The Boston Globe hailed the production as “delivering the kind of energetic performance … that had audiences rising swiftly to its feet.” Opera News, reviewing the Omaha mounting, said the production “let loose with vibrant, contrasting visual and musical colors.” A Verdi favorite, Rigoletto is set in a rich and decadent Renaissance Italy and features some of opera’s most famous arias including “La Donna e Mobile” and “Caro Nome.” Todd Thomas makes his Atlanta Opera debut as the hunchbacked jester Rigoletto, who turns his mind to revenge when he cannot protect the person he most loves, his innocent daughter Gilda, from the person he most loathes.
