Our final production of the 2024 season, Verdi’s Rigoletto, opened on 19 September to a sold out Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre. Here’s a selection of the feedback from our season:
“With this production director, designers, soloists, chorus and musicians have brought together a seamless tale of brilliantly rounded characters with vivid emotions and contemporary relevance.”
– John daly-peoples, NZ ARTS REVIEW
“Indeed, the entire cast in this production were flawless and strong…..The impeccably stylish wardrobe; expertly nuanced lighting; and Michael Yeargan’s stunningly sumptuous sets created a beguiling and exquisite foundation for the entire opera. The Auckland Philharmonia under the expert guidance of James Judd brought to life Verdi’s wonderful score.”
“What faultless and irresistible entertainment on an addictive and unrelenting storm of genius! It doesn’t get any better than this!”
