Performer: Walter Sutcliffe

Terrific music making with a light directorial touch brings mixed results to Monteverdi's 1643 masterpiece. 

Stripping away all the decadence of late-19th century Vienna, Walter Sutcliffe gives Johann Strauss’ operetta an overhaul. 

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.
