Rigoletto By The Knoxville Opera
The arts are important to the cultural and intellectual identity of any city or town. In east Tennessee where music, dance, and the culture of the Appalachian region plays such an important role in the people, it is no wonder that diverse outside influences co-exist. This can be seen in everything from the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s annual holiday concert to the majestic Bijou Theatre .
Tomorrow night will see such a grand event when the Knoxville Opera presents Rigoletto. In full costume and full voice, the Knoxville Opera will bring this magnificent Verdi opera to life. Filled with court intrigue, familial bonds, and a poignant jester, this opera is a masterpiece. It will be performed in Italian with English subtitles. Tickets range between $15-$88 dollars and are still available at the Tennessee Theatre. The doors open promptly at 7:00 pm so don’t miss out!
