Sunday’s night’s Rigoletto had to be moved indoors due to a heavy rainstorm.

Only 1,650 people were able to see the semi-staged performance. The remaining 3,750 were sent home with their money back.

The only good news for Bregenz is that after three rain-offs the insurance kicks in, meaning the festival does not lose out financially from further cancellations.

    They’ll lose out next year when their insurance goes through the roof!

    How about building a large amphitheater like Tanglewood’s shed?
