Since I am relatively new to opera, I have no previous performances to compare to what I've seen recently. However in spite of that I have noticed that I usually like operas (and plays) staged in the time they were about. That's why I was surprised that I liked this production of Rigoletto. If you don't like any operas in updated settings, you may as well skip the production of Giulio Cesare I saw Wednesday night. It moved the setting to India during English rule. This production originated with the Glyndebourne Opera Company.
