Jess Gillam meets with London based Australian mezzo-soprano Lotte Betts-Dean for virtual lockdown listening party, in which they are raving to Rachmaninov, marvelling over the voices of Cape Verde’s barefoot diva and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, whilst also enjoying the other worldly dream pop of Cocteau Twins and Mahler’s humongous ‘Symphony of a Thousand’.

This August Seattle Opera presents Lindy Hume’s production of RIGOLETTO, originally created for New Zealand Opera in 2012. Designed by Richard Roberts and lit by Jason Morphett, this RIGOLETTO sets the Victor Hugo story which inspired Giuseppe Verdi’s amazing music in an uncomfortably recognizable modern world of haves and have-nots, power-hungry men and disadvantaged women. On July 23, Hume discussed her production with Seattle Opera Dramaturg Jonathan Dean. They talked about the curse, the cruelty of laughter, and what happens when you produce an old-fashioned opera like RIGOLETTO in a post-#MeToo world. Hume shared fascinating insights into RIGOLETTO’s female characters, not just Gilda and Maddalena (the archetypal virgin and whore) but also Countess Ceprano, Monterone’s daughter, Giovanna the housekeeper, the Duchess, and the Page. This podcast features highlights from their conversation.
Australian native Lindy Hume, Artistic Director of Opera Queensland, is making her San Diego Opera debut as the stage director for La cenerentola. Her delightful production of this Rossini opera has played in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and is now here. We talk about the genesis of the production and why its design is tied to mid-19th century London, a look and feel that seems to match the story perfectly. Enjoy!
