Alan Opie (Rigoletto), Emma Matthews (Gilda), Paul O'Neill (Duke of Mantua), David Parkin (Sparafucile) & Elizabeth Campbell (Maddalena) Opera Australia Chorus & Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, Giovanni Reggioli One of Opera Australia's best-loved productions. Inspired by Fellini's classic film La dolca vita, Verdi's dark melodrama is transposed into the world of modern day mafiosi. “Paul O'Neill sings ably though his dramatic presentation is dull. Emma Matthews's Gilda is far more consistent; she sings with keen technical aplomb and manages the tricky task of playing a character whose innocence proves a terrible vulnerability...Giovanni Reggioli is the decent conductor.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2012 ** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Surpassing even his own breezy account for Bonynge, the tireless tenor adds little touches of character and nuances of tone to bring the Duke to life...Ghiaurov, in splendid voice, is a wily, subtle assassin” Gramophone Magazine, January 1990 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Robert Merrill's gruff jester has plenty of voice, too, though again giving the suggestion of a solid run-through rather than a newly thought-through interpretation, but Roberta Peters's Gilda possesses a fresh-faced quality.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2011 *** “Merrill's voice is a gorgeous instrument and his Rigoletto is handsomely sung...Tucker is in fine voice for the Duke, delivering a nuance-free interpretation but with a voice of gold...[Peters is] on good form, though not as fresh as in 1956, and she vocally acts the role...Bonaldo Giaiotti is a dark, doom-laden Sparafucile and Mignon Dunn adds luxury - and fine vocal acting - to Maddalena.” International Record Review, January 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
