Rigoletto at the Sydney Opera House

A trip to Sydney isn't complete without a visit to its most famous building, and the best thing to do when you visit the Sydney Opera House is to come inside and see an opera performance.

Rigoletto is the story with everything: royalty, loyalty, deformity, devotion, lust and revenge. Set against the glamorous backdrop of 1960s Italy, this production is packed with passion, intrigue, and some of the most unforgettable melodies ever written.

From the moment the curtain rises, you'll be swept into a world of lavish parties, dark secrets, and heart-wrenching emotion. The famous aria 'La donna è mobile' is so catchy, Verdi himself banned his cast from humming it before opening night — and it's been a worldwide hit ever since.

See it if you like: hummable tunes, world-class casts and plush, period productions.

Performed in Italian with English and Simplified Chinese surtitles.
