Open air opera Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto at Loyton Lodge on Sunday 20th July.  In aid of the Devon Comunity Foundation

Loyton Lodge and New Devon Opera (NDO)  are pleased to present Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto. Welsh-trained coloratura soprano Debra Morley was one of the fifteen finalists in May at the José Cura Opera Project. Upon hearing her, NDO's Patron and international superstar tenor José Cura was so impressed, that he immediately chose her to sing the role of the doomed heroine - Gilda - for our production!

More information:

NDO LogoBaritone James Hancock and mezzo Katrina Waters from Australia sing respectively the roles of the tragic Jester, Rigoletto , and the flirtatious Maddalena. , American bass Paul Goodwin-Groen completes the international line-up as the assassin, Sparafucile.
