Review: Lyric’s ‘Rigoletto’ updates Verdi’s opera without lessening its vitality Director Mary Birnbaum offers up a “Rigoletto” that’s partly revisionist yet has all the traditional pleasures of Italian opera-going.

4 STAR REVIEW FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: "Lyric’s ‘Rigoletto’ updates Verdi’s opera without robbing its vitality."
There are 6 more performances. I appear in Act 1 and Act 2 as a guard and as an abductor. chicagotribune.com/2024/09/15/r...

Thank you!

Rigoletto Heart-wrenching tragedy accompanied by unforgettable scores and the soaring voices of Igor Golovatenko, Mané Galoyan, and Javier Camarena.

REHEARSING! I am thrilled to be back on stage at Lyric Opera of Chicago. I have a non-singing role in Rigoletto. I appear in Act 1 & Act 2 as one of the Duke’s guards and as an abductor.
I’m overjoyed to be part of the cast. There are 7 performances. lyricopera.org/shows/upcomi...
