This is high drama from the Dallas Opera. The season opener is Verdi with a vengeance: Rigoletto. There’s something automatically compelling about the funny guy turned avenger, but with music like this and the talent of this cast… it’s beyond.
Auriga Productions is bringing the tragedy to Bath House Cultural Center in Shakespearean proportions. No, really. The company offers up the classic tale of familial discord, staying true to oneself and walking through personal storms with. With a message that rings eternal, and thus is presented with a lack of time period, the production has a distinctly badass styling. The pure rock and roll aesthetic adds to the ego and the pomp that the Bard’s characters show by the leather pantload.
And don’t worry, you’ll learn something whether you were planning to or not. Tip your servers and thank the volunteers profusely. And btw, check out the Rush Badge, a super cool pass that gives you access to screenings with last-minute seating availability, so if you’re low on cash and want to see more than a handful of screenings, this is a fun way to gamble on catching a lot more movies.
