Works
Righini is a creator of the second opera to the theme of Don Giovanni, composed for Prague stage. He is considered a skilful, but not very original composer, who often took advantage of invention of other composers. His Don Giovanni was performed in 1997 at the Dejvické divadlo in Prague, and in 2003 at the Městské divadlo in Brno.
