Usually at the Metropolitan Opera, a single debut among the leads or on the podium is enough to create advance buzz. But on Wednesday night, when Otto Schenk’s grimly realistic 1989 production of Verdi’s “Rigoletto” returned to the repertory, there were three notable debuts: the young Malta-born tenor Joseph Calleja, who sang the Duke of Mantua; Ekaterina Siurina, a lovely Russian coloratura soprano, as Gilda; and the experienced Austrian conductor Friedrich Haider. The Met veteran in the cast was the powerful Spanish baritone Juan Pons, who has been presenting his impetuous, if vocally blustery, portrayal of Rigoletto at the house since 1990.
