Rigoletto assez terne au Festival des Arènes de Vérone : le sublime bouffon de Verdi ainsi que la réputation du Festival italien méritaient bien un niveau d’interprétation supérieur. 

Fireworks, party boats, Violetta swooping from a giant chandelier: soprano Stacey Alleaume triumphs in this magnificent restaging of Francesca Zambello's spectacular waterfront La traviata.
