Rigoletto - Grand opera in a space where every whisper matters

Experience one of opera’s most gripping and emotionally charged dramas in the intimate setting of The Mission Theatre in Bath.

In a world of power, corruption and hidden tenderness, Rigoletto tells the story of a father’s desperate attempt to protect his daughter from the darkness around him - and the devastating cost when control turns to tragedy. What begins in mockery and cruelty spirals into revenge, innocence betrayed, and one of the most unforgettable endings in all opera.

Performed with chamber orchestra, this production combines the richness of live instrumental colour with the immediacy of a close theatre space. Every glance, every confrontation, every soaring phrase from Verdi’s magnificent score lands with raw emotional force.

Whether you are a seasoned opera lover or curious to experience it for the first time, this is opera as it is meant to be felt: exciting and profoundly moving.

Join us in Bath for an evening of passion, beauty and devastating drama.
