Water

Festival

Here we are again…the hottest most humid time of year in the Lowcountry— Mid July to Mid August. Back in 1956 a group of local leaders determined that a festival built around the cooling waters of the Beaufort River was just the thing we needed. The Water Festival was born and grew in size and scope until it became the event packed celebration it is today.

Rigoletto Michael Mayer’s acclaimed production, the talk of the opera world when it premiered in 2013, sets the action of Verdi’s masterpiece in 1960 Las Vegas—a neon-lit world ruled by money and ruthless, powerful men. In this bold new vision (featured on 60 Minutes), Piotr Beczala is the Duke, a popular entertainer and casino owner. Željko Lučić sings Rigoletto, a comedian and the Duke’s sidekick, and Diana Damrau is Rigoletto’s innocent daughter, Gilda.

Opera stars Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna portray Puccini’s star-crossed lovers.
