I love the opera, from dirge to love song. The cast did a magnificent job. Gilda was vividly portrayed as a sheltered, guileless, beautiful creature. The title role of Rigoletto was also well done. You could hear his anguish and despair in every word, when he was not in his lovely daughter's presence. When they sang together, was when he lit up and you understood how even though he hated his job, he felt she was worth every indignity that was visited on him as a clown in a cad's court. I will definitely go again. Bravo!
