Carnegie Hall Citywide ​On Screen: Verdi’s Rigoletto

Carnegie Hall presents a free outdoor screening of Verdi’s Rigoletto, filmed during a spectacular staging at Austria’s Bregenz Festival, home of the world’s largest floating stage. Verdi’s enduring classic pairs some of opera’s most recognizable music with a story of passion and consequence. This rare feat of imaginative stagecraft, directed by Philipp Stölzl, transforms the entire Court of Mantua into a circus troupe, with the duke himself as the ringmaster. An exceptional cast performs alongside the Vienna Symphony and Prague Philharmonic Choir conducted by Enrique Mazzola.

The event begins with a live musical introduction and synopsis by world-renowned opera singer Anthony Roth Costanzo, who will demonstrate how opera singers develop their incredible voices, accompanied by pianist Myra Huang.
