“Rigoletto” production with Enrico Porta, John Adams Auditorium, Santa Monica, 1949

Description:
Opera singer Enrico Porta, in the role of Rigoletto, sings while a crowd of nobles and courtiers look on. The singers wear costumes evoking 16th century attire - the female singers wear long gowns with full skirts and puffed sleeves. The men wear stockings, doublet-inspired tunics, ruff collars, and baldrics (for holding a sword) around the waist. Rigoletto wears an embroidered cape and braided belt with tassels. The stage set represents a room in the Duke’s palace complete with a throne (an ornate wooden chair covered with a canopy, placed on an elevated platform). The walls are built with faux columns and crests mounted on them. Musicians can be seen from the orchestra pit at foreground. Additionally, Natalie Garrotto (second from left) performs as a noblewoman and Jean Kortlander is visible as well (3rd from R).
