The Metropolitan Opera Live Encore Screening: Rigoletto

Baritone Quinn Kelsey sings the role of the deformed court jester in Bartlett Sher's powerful staging of Giuseppe Verdi's drama of revenge and deceit, recorded live on the stage of the Lincoln Centre For The Performing Arts in New York. Rigoletto serves The Duke of Mantua, a renowned womaniser despised by many of his subjects. The Duke and servant are a formidable double act, working together to mock the men whose wives have become notches on the nobleman's bed post.
