Performer: Taras Berezhansky

A piecemeal evening of high musical values as the Adelaide Festival opens with short Stravinsky pieces rather than the usual substantial opera. 

Livermore updates the scene to the 1930s, but seems to be setting Mussolini's Italians against invading Germans. 

Since their creation in 2010, NIO has brought unconventional opera productions to Northern Ireland. Their Rigoletto is bold, emotional and engaging with a stellar cast of local and international talent.
