Piotr Beczala Will Sing Edgardo In LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR 2/7

Piotr Beczala will sing Edgardo in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor on Saturday, February 7 at 1:00 p.m., replacing Rolando Villazón who is ill. The performance is being transmitted worldwide as part of The Met: Live in HD series.

Mr. Beczala sang the role of Edgardo this past October at the Met to both public and critical acclaim. He is currently singing Lensky in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin at the Met, with remaining performances on February 5, 9, 14 matinee, 18, and 21 evening.

Other members of the cast for Lucia di Lammermoor on February 7 remain as scheduled: Anna Netrebko as Lucia, Mariusz Kwiecien as Enrico, Ildar Abdrazakov as Raimondo, with Marco Armiliato conducting.

Singing back-to-back performances of two leading roles on consecutive evenings, Giuseppe Filianoti, who replaced Mr. Villazón in the February 3 performance of Lucia di Lammermoor, will sing the Duke in Verdi's Rigoletto this evening as originally scheduled.
