Fine voices, staid production: Rigoletto at Hungarian State Opera
Loading image...
Attila Mókus's dramatic baritone was scornful at one moment, tender, distressed, vengeful, or broken in mourning at others, vocal signposts in Rigoletto’s descent into the hell of his own making.
Un ballo glitters but doesn’t ignite in Budapest
The acting was patchy and the singing ranged from serviceable to laudable in this dazzling new production at the Budapest Spring Festival.
Hungarian forces at their finest
With Gergely Kesselyák on double duty as conductor and director, this revival proves musically outstanding but theatrically less than satisfying.
