Performer: Desirée Rancatore

Franco Zeffirelli's Palermo La Fille du régiment wears its 55 years with style and elegance, lifted by outstanding singing from Desirée Rancatore and Celso Albelo.

Capitalising on their success with Verdi’s opera Rigoletto during the Aix-en-Provence Festival in the summer, the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor Gianandrea Noseda chose to open the 2013/14 season last night with the same work.

Rigoletto vuelve al Gran Teatre del Liceu ante la enorme expectativa de un reparto que comprende el debut del tenor Javier Camarena como Duque de Mantua y la vuelta del malagueño Carlos Álvarez a uno de sus roles más logrados.
