A trio of vocal triumphs in The Metropolitan Opera's new Rigoletto
“Conductor Daniele Rustioni led a tight reading, clear and transparent. Strangely quiet at times as well, as if to highlight Verdi’s frequent pizzicato and weeping strings, but he brought out the big guns for the Storm scene and finales. Avoiding the oom-pah-pah moments in favor of melodic inside lines, much of the score felt new.”
