A classic of opera, Giuseppe Verdi's famous score is loved for its melody and its drama. Director David McVicar's immensely popular production, in period costume, brings the 15th century court of Mantua alive: its womanizing Duke, the court jester Rigoletto bent on revenge and his daughter, Gilda, whom the Duke loves but still destroys. A celebrated score of familiar music conducted by John Eliot Gardiner, and a drama of the passions of love and hate.

British composer Benjamin Britten described his opera "Peter Grimes" as "the struggle of the individual against the masses. The more vicious the society, the more vicious the individual." Set in a drab fishing village, "Peter Grimes" tells the story of a man accused by his neighbors of committing unspeakable crimes, and how their actions ripple further and further. Britten's incredible score includes the "Four Sea Interludes," instrumental music between scenes that perfectly expresses the mystery and pain at the heart of this opera.

Verdi's meaty score is sung with full-throated intensity by Maria Agresti, Gregory Kunde and Franco Vassallo, with Gianandrea Noseda at the podium.

Envelope-pushing director Graham Vick describes his production of "Anna Bolena" as "two women making use of the bed to get to the throne and a man making use of the throne to get to the bed." The man, of course, is Henry VIII, and the women are his doomed wives, Jane Seymour and Anne Boleyn. Don't miss this tale of treachery and scandal, brought to life in Donizetti's sparkling score.
