Set in Renaissance Italy, this famous and beloved tragedy from composer Giuseppe Verdi is a dramatic tale of love, betrayal, and revenge that centers on Rigoletto, the hunchbacked jester for the morally corrupt and womanizing Duke of Mantua. Rigoletto’s latest jest at the expense of the Duke and his guests spurs a vendetta that consumes the jester’s life. Featuring a renowned cast, this is opera at its finest, filled with familiar tunes like “La donna è mobile,” “Questa o quella,” & “Caro nome,” and a story that will leave you breathless. See why this masterpiece has electrified audiences for generations with its compelling drama, historic relevance, and powerful music!

Thank you for joining us for Opera in the Park on Saturday, September 10, 2022. It was a wonderful event filled with beautiful music! Our celebrity host Angela Brown performed an iconic aria from her upcoming role in Indianapolis Opera's Tosca, our Resident Artists had an incredible Indianapolis Opera debut, and Daniel Narducci brought a beautiful rendition of "Do you hear the people sing?" to this uplifting program. Joshua Thompson (Sock Joplin) performed a stunning piano rendition of "Troubled Water" by Margaret Bonds and paired with Jared Thompson on saxophone and soprano Angela Brown to light up the stage with "Trust" by Roy Hargrove with original lyrics by Jared Thompson. We are thrilled that so many of you were able to join us for this event. This Opera in the Park crowd was the largest yet!
