About this event

North Wales Opera returns to its Shrewsbury ‘home’ to present Verdi’s Rigoletto. The Abbey will be transformed with a raised platform and expert lighting to create intense drama accompanied by talented singers and Shrewsbury’s very own Ensemble SY1 live orchestra.

This is one of the most famous operas with melodies you will instantly recognise. From the fireworks of Gilda’s Caro Nome to the greatly recognised La donna è mobile! Like many of its class, this opera can be expressed in a few sentences and is likely the best to express the potency of rueful karma and the underbelly of schadenfreude.

Under the proven leadership and artistry of international soprano Anne Williams-King and her team, North Wales Opera add this opera to their repertoire.
