Photo Flash: First Look at Placido Domingo, Danielle De Niese and More in THE ENCHANTED ISLAND at the Met

The Baroque pastiche The Enchanted Island, a hit when it premiered at the Met in 2011, returns for its first revival on February 26. New cast members Susan Graham (Sycorax) and Andriana Chuchman (Miranda) join many of the principal singers who appeared in the work's world premiere: David Daniels as Prospero, Plácido Domingo as Neptune, Danielle de Niese as Ariel, Anthony Roth Costanzo as Ferdinand, and Luca Pisaroni as Caliban. The four mismatched Athenian lovers will be sung by Elizabeth DeShong, who sang Hermia in the world premiere, joined by new cast members Janai Brugger (Helena), Andrew Stenson (Demetrius), and Nicholas Pallesen (Lysander) completing the quartet of Athenian lovers. BroadwayWorld has a first look below!

Patrick Summers conducts the work, a pastiche in the Baroque tradition that combines plot elements of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest with music by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, and other leading composers of the era. In keeping with pastiche tradition, this season's revival will feature two Handel arias not heard in the work's premiere, "Stra nell'ircana" from Alcina for Sycorax and "Empio, per farti guerra" from Tamerlano for Neptune. (A complete list of musical sources for The Enchanted Island is available on page three of this release.) Jeremy Sams, who wrote and devised The Enchanted Island, has worked with Summers and director Phelim McDermott to oversee other adaptations to the work for this revival, including a repositioning of the intermission and changes to the lyrics in several scenes.
