Rigoletto – Macerata Opera Festival 2015 “If the Duke turns into a pulp gangster, masterly directed by Federico Grazzini, we may feel confused: but since the acting is so strong, we immediately embrace it. Rhythm, concept, stage ideas are crucial and remarkable. Grazzini is a talented director in his early thirties, technically skilled and showing a deep knowledge of human affections.”

Rigoletto – Macerata Opera Festival 2015 “The Rigoletto that opened the 51st Macerata Opera Festival is simply beautiful. In Federico Grazzini’s finest direction the court of the Duke is replaced by a space as much cruel and miserable: a suburban amusement park. Hugo’s drama is told with striking fidelity and sensibility.”
