Ragland Film Series presents Rigoletto on the Lake

The following is a press release from the Ross Ragland Theater.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - Ross Ragland Film Series presents Rigoletto on the Lake showing on Saturday, July 30th at 7:00 PM. This is a special showing of the Giuseppe Verdi worldwide spectacular Opera.   

Giuseppe Verdi’s masterwork – compelling, blood-curdling, and beautiful – is being performed for the first time on the breathtaking water stage of Lake Constance, Bregenz. One of Verdi’s most popular works, Rigoletto is an unforgettable tale of a sacrifice and revenge, of a father’s rage and a daughter’s shame. It features several of opera’s best-known arias-including Rigoletto’s passionate denouncement “Cortigiani, vil razza dannata,” Gilda’s dreamy “Caro Nome” and the duke’s instantly recognizable “La donna è mobile.” Rigoletto was first performed in 1851 and is the first of the extraordinary “middle-period” trio of Verdi masterpieces that also includes La Traviata and Il Trovatore.

General admission tickets are $5
