RIGOLETTO on the Lake *on screen*

Sat 24 OCT 7pm & Sun 25 OCT 2pm

Giuseppe Verdi’s 

RIGOLETTO 

on Lake Constance, Bregenz

*on screen* Cinema Live event 

tix $20; Conc $15 Student; Child $12

compelling, blood-curdling and beautiful ... one weekend only 

Giuseppe Verdi’s masterpiece – compelling, blood-curdling and beautiful – is being performed for the first time on the unique Bregenz lake stage. Once of Verdi's most popular works, Rigoletto is an unforgettable tale of sacrifice and revenge; of a father's rage and a daughter's shame. It features several of opera's best-known arias - including Rigoletto's passionate denouncement "Cortigiani, vil razza dannata," Gilda's dreamy "Caro nome" and the Duke's instantly recognisable "La donna è mobile." 

Directed and designed by Philip Stölzl, this timeless tragedy will delight audiences with a powerhouse combination of entertainment and emotional intensity from the spectacular shore of Lake Constance.

Rigoletto on the Lake contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.

Key Facts ... by Cinema Live... Rigoletto on the Lake, performed on a magnificent water stage, screening in Australian cinemas for the first time.

Considered one of Verdi’s greatest masterpieces, Rigoletto premiered in Venice in 1851. A story of lust, murder and revenge, it has been performed consistently across the world and is a staple in every opera house's repertoire. 

.  1. The story is based on a play by Victor Hugo. He is better known for his other masterpieces: Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and is considered one of France's greatest novelists.

2. The censors had real issues with the content of the opera. Set in the immoral world of the Duke of Mantua, whose corruption and misuse of power is displayed, the fact that there seems to be no redemption for his victims caused real issues for finally getting the opera on the stage.

3. Its most famous aria is the Duke's La Donna è Mobile, (A woman is flighty). Due to the Duke's mistreatment of women, and particularly Rigoletto’s daughter, it is no surprise that this is an opera without a happy ending.

4. Although the opera was very successful with audiences from the beginning, many critics condemned the story for its dark and tragic plot being combined with popular tunes. However, later on, critics warmed to the opera, one stating that in Rigoletto there "is more substance and feeling than in the whole of Wagner's Ring Cycle".

5. The staging for Rigoletto on the Lake weighs no less than 140 tons anchored on 120 piers. As many as 46 different companies took part in the construction of the moving Clown head and hands. They can be moved, pulled apart and disconnected, mirroring the breakdown of Rigolettos mind as the story goes on.
