Featured Series Rigoletto Rigoletto Houston Grand Opera

Broadcasts by the Houston Grand Opera continue on KUAT-FM this Saturday, November 14th at noon with a performance of Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi with a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. The opera will be sung in Italian and the approximate running time will be two hours and fifty minutes.

A bitter court jester pits himself against his master in a hopeless effort to protect his daughters virtue. Three shining young artists, Scott Hendricks and Albina Shagimuratova, along with Eric Cutler, star as the hunchback Rigoletto, his adored daughter Gilda and the lecherous, remorseless Duke of Mantua. Patrick Summers conducts Verdi's distinguished tragedy.
