He will join Kristina Mkhitaryan and Stephen Costello. Karl Marek Chichon conducts.
The new production of “Rigoletto” is set to be directed by Bartlett Sher and will open on Dec. 31 with Kelsey, Piotr Beczala, and Rosa Feola. Daniele Rustioni will conduct the first run of the opera.
Next season Tézier is set to perform the title role of “Macbeth” at the Bayerische Staatsoper, “Rigoletto” at the Wiener Staatsoper, and “Simon Boccanegra” at the Opernhaus Zurich.
