Rigoletto

My DVD of Rigoletto arrived on St Andrew's Day (November 30).  I had seen this rather provocative David McVicar Royal Opera House Covent Garden production on PBS a few years ago.  I watched the first act and part of the second act on Saturday morning.  My older son was interested in this kind of art form and my younger son kept on saying "I want music singing" (Beethoven's 9th).  It occurred to me that opera must be really expensive to put together and they are usually over 2 hours long!  Quite an experience in live music.  I have a DVD of Bizet's Carmen as well from the DG 111 box.  I think the kids will like that one too!
