Stayed up late last night and watched the Metropolitan's "Rigoletto" on PBS.
A recent setting was Little Italy in New York; the Met's offering is glitzy Las Vegas, Nevada.

Enjoyable for the most part. Zeljko Lucic as Rigoletto and Stefan Kocan as the hitman I thought performed and sang well; Diana Damrau as Gilda was a little weak.
Piotr Beczala as the Duke aparently was supposed to be a Sinatra-type character. He lacked Sinatra's spark but his singing was mostly excellent.

The evocation of Las Vegas was bright and eye-catching.

Just wondered what others thought of the performance.
