C Major’s Tutto Verdi project continues with a recording of Rigoletto from the Teatro Regio di Parma.
The opera was based on the play Le roi s'amuse by Victor Hugo and is perceived to be the first of Verdi’s great masterpieces of his mid-to-late career.
This performance features a top-class cast, led by Nino Machaidze and Leo Nucci.

Nucci simply owns the role of Rigoletto...a master-class in vocal acting...Machaidze is the very embodiment of Gilda. Her characterization is simply marvellous...[she] has a lovely full tone - this is no canary Gilda - with 'Caro nome' poised and emotional...The supporting cast is excellent...I was highly impressed by Massino Zanetti's conducting
