Verdi’s Rigoletto Lecture & Musical Highlights
January 21, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST
Music historian Jeffrey Engel, of West Cornwall, will present a Live Zoom lecture for Rigoletto, originally scheduled for the Metropolitan Opera. This opera intrigues with Immorality, kidnapping, seduction, passion, and murder, but a few words that summarize the plot of “Rigoletto.” It is Verdi’s first work (after 16 others) to attain a permanent place in the popular repertory. “Rigoletto” has some of Verdi’s best-known music, especially one tenor aria that has been used to sell tomato paste and Doritos on television.
