Rigoletto Thu 16 - Sat 18 Jun at The Grand Opera House Belfast

Verdi's towering opera tells a tragic tale. Rigoletto, a jester employed by a rich and dissolute Duke, is forced to keep his master well supplied with fresh conquests.

As a web of court intrigue tightens around him, Rigoletto finds himself the victim of a grave curse, but to his horror, it's his carefully protected daughter Gilda who is the one to suffer.

From the aching naivety of Gilda's first love to the Duke's unthinking revelry and Rigoletto's tortured realisation of his failure as a father, Verdi takes the characters from elation to despair in an opera densely packed with extraordinary music.

Director Matthew Richardson brings this operatic classic to the stage in a stylish, intelligent and theatrical production. English baritone Eddie Wade sings Rigoletto in his debut in the role, and Nadine Livingston (Musetta in 2010's La bohème) brings a fresh innocence to the role of Gilda. Tobias Ringborg conducts.

Opera Unwrapped is a free hour-long taster that gives you the chance to see what opera is all about. Hear highlights from the singers, and some of the theatrical secrets behind the production.

Thursday and Saturday 7.15pm: £15.00 - £46.00

Friday 6.00pm: Opera Unwrapped
