London Symphony Orchestra/Gianandrea Noseda Verdi Rigoletto (Concert Performance)!!

  The London Symphony Orchestra kicks off its 2013/14 season with Verdi’s Rigoletto, a gripping opera starring a sharp-tongued jester and a womanising Duke, who spin a web of corruption and deception.

Gianandrea Noseda conducts, following three weeks of critically acclaimed performances with the LSO at the Aix-en-Provence Festival.

'Noseda brings thrilling momentum to the opera’s powerful melodrama’.
The Sunday Times, on Rigoletto at the Aix-en-Provence Festival.
