This could have been a great "Rigoletto". The orchestra, the singing, and the acting are all first rate. Why "they" had to put Carlos Alvarez [Rigoletto] in that hideous rubber body suit that sporadically poured water/sweat like it was coming out of a faucet detracted, however, from the emotional power of a few of his important scenes.
