Daniele Rustioni. "This evening Rigoletto #3 at the The Metropolitan Opera… GO TEAM!!! MET Orchestra Musicians Met Opera Chorus. It was gratifying (cathartic, even) to ring in the new year with an utterly electrifying performance of Rigoletto at the Metropolitan Opera "The singing was well supported by conductor Daniele Rustioni, whose fresh, energetic take on Verdi’s score afforded such strong, creative performances from the cast. The Met Orchestra seemed to respond enthusiastically to Rustioni’s conducting: it sounded particularly full-flavored on this evening—particularly the brass, which gleefully sneered through the caustic dissonances of the overture. The strings had a particularly raspy flavor at times—perhaps a certain hint of sul ponticello—that perfectly underscored the darkness of the dramatic material. But it was the more soloistic work that truly stood out for me: the anguished horn calls which interpolate the first duet between Gilda and Rigoletto; the flurrying woodwind arpeggios which represent the storm in the third act; and the offstage band (partially onstage in this production), which played with a shimmering, glistening quality.' Parterre Box, Callum John Blackmore. The Met’s ‘Rigoletto’ Brought in 2022 Against All Odds 'Conductor Daniele Rustioni’s debut five years ago leading a revival of Aïda … his magnificent Rigoletto gave notice that he is one of today’s best Verdi conductors. He drew glorious, incisive playing from the Met’s fine orchestra and the men’s chorus performed with tremendous vigor and bite. One heard incredible orchestral detail throughout but never at the expense of a propulsive forward motion. I hope that he will return to work this magic on more Verdi, but this weekend he’ll tackle Mozart in a revival of Le Nozze di Figaro . . .' Observer, Christopher Corwin." Facebook. Jan. 7, 2022.
