This has become his signature role, and that was apparent from his first tragic entrance.
Hawaiian baritone Quinn Kelsey was outstanding as the hunchback jester, Rigoletto. Patrons strolled out wreathed with smiles after an evening of rape and murder, rather than slinking out in shock, a response to great music performed perfectly and famous arias sung to a tee. Nicola Luisotti led the SF Opera in a careful production that emphasized the beauty of the craft rather than dwelling too deeply on the menacing action.īut that was only a little surprising. Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto was unexpectedly crowd pleasing last Tuesday, June 6, at San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House.
