With Rigoletto, Giuseppe Verdi created one of opera’s most ruthless portraits of power, manipulation, and emotional destruction — a drama where innocence collides with corruption and where every act of cruelty leaves irreversible consequences.

At the Bayerische Staatsoper, Barbara Wysocka’s production places the psychological tension of the opera within fragmented and constantly shifting spaces, reflecting the instability beneath the glittering surface of power.

These performances bring together Jonathan Tetelman as the Duke of Mantua, Luca Salsi in the title role, and Sara Blanch as Gilda during the spring season in Munich — combining Verdi’s most celebrated music with the theatrical intensity that defines the Bayerische Staatsoper.

Bayerische Staatsoper remains one of Europe’s defining opera houses for major Verdi productions and internationally acclaimed casting. Performances such as Rigoletto — particularly with artists like Jonathan Tetelman and Luca Salsi — attract audiences seeking exceptional vocal interpretation within one of Europe’s leading cultural institutions.
