The SF Opera advertises this new season as the first of a new era: an era of glamour and sophistication and respect for the traditions of the lyrical arts. Rigoletto, which opened last Saturday night, is thus a wink to the previous era; a proof that, while marketing material might promote swift shifts and clean breaks between eras, the actual production of the shows carries a lag, and transitions go through shades of grey. This Rigoletto production is more glamorous than, say, a Planet of the Apes version (and you must click on the link and check out the pictures of Gilda coming out of her space capsule, honest to goodness, just to witness what we have avoided), but the surrealist set inspired by Chirico are not exactly flamboyant: they are rather dry and minimalist, and have been seen on this stage a few times before, last in 2001.
