Verdi’s Rigoletto, recorded in 2000, is an opera that tells the story of a hunchbacked jester navigating power, desire, and tragedy at a corrupt court. This performance features Alan Opie, Arthur Davies, and chorus members performing the work in English translation, bringing the classic Italian opera to life with theatrical energy and nuanced characterization across all roles, from the leads to the supporting parts.

This two-disc CD release comes from Chandos and includes the prelude and Act I scenes with sung dialogue and arias, showcasing the fluent English adaptation of the libretto. The recording captures a vigorous performance that demonstrates how this enduring work continues to resonate regardless of cast size or vocal pedigree.
