The NJ Association of Verismo Opera is returning to the mainstage of Stockton University's Performing Arts Center for another Italian libretto at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6. Rigoletto is a three-act opera by Giuseppe Verdi centered on a promiscuous duke, a hunch-backed court jester and his daughter, whose love affair with the duke leads to tragedy.
Originally led by Metropolitan Opera luminary Lucine Amara, the New Jersey Association of Verismo Opera, a nonprofit organization, has delivered a rich, grand opera experience for performers and viewers for over 30 years. Verismo Opera has provided performing opportunities for musicians and artists through its semi-annual productions at venues in New Jersey and concerts held in community settings.
