Full of melodies that are now the musical backdrop of modern life, Verdi’s RIGOLETTO, one of the world’s best-loved operas is playing at the London Coliseum as part of English National Opera’s 2024-2025 season.
Jonathan Miller’s production is the godfather of the genre. Set in Little Italy in 1950’s New York, it is a terrific night out: a fast-paced gangster saga of jealously, love and revenge.

The title character is a wise-cracking mobster who uses words as weapons. But he shoots his mouth off once too often and a misplaced joke sparks a deadly vendetta. Now the joke’s on Rigoletto as the depraved Duke seduces his daughter, Gilda. Rigoletto vows to avenge her honour and his family name.
