THE SAINTS AND SINNERS SHOW

They say the devil has all the best tunes. But who will win when Heaven meets Hell in the ultimate singing competition?

The Stanley Opera Company Presents:
RIGOLETTO – Giuseppe Verdi

SUNG IN ENGLISH
This wonderful melodrama – a gripping tale of the hunchback jester who hires a hit man to murder his master, with terrible and unforeseen consequences – is one of the greatest stories ever told and contains some of the most sublime music ever written. Stanley Opera are proud to bring Verdi’s number one hit to the Hinckley Concordia Theatre for four performances spread across two weeks in April 2011. Relocating the action to the spectacular setting of the Venice Carnival, Rigoletto promises to be one of the most memorable productions in Stanley Opera’s history. Tickets will go on sale in the autumn, but why not make a note of the dates today so that you won’t forget to book your tickets for this exciting premiere production?
