Rehearsals for Rigoletto begin today, Monday. The Opera Company of Philadelphia's new production - built at its production center in Tacony - offers three big Philadelphia debuts: British baritone Alan Opie in the title role, Israeli soprano Chen Reiss as Gilda, and Metropolitan Opera tenor Matthew Polenzani (pictured), who has only done the Duke once before in concert, making this his stage debut for the role. The opera opens Oct. 5 at the Academy of Music.
