Cinema Sotto le Stelle: Verdi – Rigoletto
5th ANNUAL OUTDOOR ITALIAN FILM FESTIVAL HELD IN DEPOT SQUARE, TUCKAHOE
Film screening will start at dusk. Bring your own chair.
This extraordinarily powerful 1983 production may be the best-sung performance by Luciano Pavarotti on DVD. Filmed on location at Italian Renaissance landmarks including the Castello di San Giorgio in Mantua, the Piazza Duomo in Cremona, and the Teatro Farnese in Parma, Jean-Pierre Ponnelle’s lavish production of “Rigoletto” captures all the tenderness and tragedy of Verdi’s heartbreaking drama.
