Event Description
Live broadcast from The Metropolitan Opera
Following triumphant Met performances in Roméo et Juliette, La Traviata, and Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra excels again as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into the hearts of the audience in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production, Rolando Villazón — the tenor who has established a brilliant second career as a director — keeps the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga returns after his acclaimed 2023 Met debut in L’Elisir d’Amore, co-starring as Amina’s fiancé Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza is the conductor for this, one of opera’s most ravishing works.
