Quinn Kelsey triumphs on New Year’s Eve in Bartlett Sher’s new Met Rigoletto
“The Met chorus and orchestra were in fine form. Conductor Daniele Rustioni led a restrained, classic performance of Verdi’s score, lavishing attention on the more intimate scenes, particularly Gilda’s Act I duet with Rigoletto and, later, her extended scene with the Duke, complete with its seldom-heard cadenza.
…In the midst of the ovations for the cast and creative team, there was a pop and the audience was showered with gold confetti. … one of the most joyous moments of 2021.”
