"A key highlight of this production is the UK and ENO debut of American baritone Weston Hurt as Rigoletto. Renowned for his “golden” voice and magnetic stage presence, Hurt delivers a performance steeped in pathos and nuanced expression, promising a portrayal that blends vocal finesse with deep character insight."

“Weston Hurt brought a gorgeous voice and stylistic refinement to the role of Giorgio Germont. He cut a distinguished figure in his Act 2 marathon, fully engaging with both Violetta and Alfredo, and I cannot recall hearing a more perfectly sung ‘Di Provenza’ anywhere. This was the sound of a classic Verdi baritone, burnished bronze and beautifully phrased, with a flawless cantabile line.” Opera Magazine
