The 2020 Bregenz Festival has been cancelled due to the coronavirus situation and to the regulations adopted by the Austrian federal government. The Rigoletto which was supposed to go in a second season will be transferred to next summer. The spectacular production will be performed on the lake stage at the 2021 festival on a total of 26 evenings, he organizer says. « We have also been able to reschedule the opera in the Festspielhaus, Nero, for next summer. Arrigo Boito’s opulent work will open the Bregenz Festival on 21 July 2021. »
