May 2013
Nucci simply owns the role of Rigoletto...a master-class in vocal acting...Machaidze is the very embodiment of Gilda. Her characterization is simply marvellous...[she] has a lovely full tone - this is no canary Gilda - with 'Caro nome' poised and emotional...The supporting cast is excellent...I was highly impressed by Massino Zanetti's conducting
15th July 2013
This 2008 Parma production...seems intent on doing visual justice to Verdi’s masterful creation...Nucci manages to convey, by his acting, physical and vocal, all the necessary facets...[Demuro's] singing is ardent and well characterised.
