What an incredible evening! Last night Meridita and I saw Rigoletto at the Met!It was a powerful, rich, full-bodied, muscular opera and I loved every minute of it.
The performance included a wildly charismatic Piotr Beczala who was replacing Joseph Calleja as the Duke of Mantua. Beczala lit up the stage with his charming and arrogant persona, and he had an incredibly beautiful voice.
I was also utterly captivated by Nino Machaidze's singing in the role of Gilda, Rigoletto's daughter. Her voice was incredible and the duets she sang with Giovanni Meoni (Rigoletto) were stunning. She was also adorable and charming during her curtain calls.
The evening was conducted by Paolo Arrivabeni. Stefan Kocan sang Sparafucile.
