This Brown Bag Opera Series production of Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto moves the opera to 1960s Las Vegas.
The Duke is a casino owner and the courtiers are Rat Pack lounge lizards, dressed in brocade tux jackets. Plenty of neon in this production, with all the trappings of the typical casino. The opera survives this setting because of the storyline.
