The Met: Adriana Lecouvreur
March 3, 2019, 12:55 PM – 4:30 PM
(Rescheduled from Jan 19, 2019)
Soprano Anna Netrebko joins the ranks of Renata Tebaldi, Montserrat Caballé, and Renata Scotto, taking on — for the first time at the Met — the title role of the real-life French actress who dazzled 18th-century audiences with her on-and offstage passion. The soprano is joined by tenor Piotr Beczała as Adriana’s lover, Maurizio. The principal cast also features mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili and baritone Ambrogio Maestri. Gianandrea Noseda conducts. Sir David McVicar’s staging, which sets the action in a working replica of a Baroque theater, premiered at the Royal Opera House in London, where the Guardian praised the “elegant production, sumptuously designed … The spectacle guarantees a good night out.”
This performance is a live high-definition broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. The running time is 3:33, with two intermissions.
Tickets: $17 – $23. Prices include per ticket handling fees.
