This masterpiece of dazzling vocal fireworks makes a rare Met appearance-its first in nearly 25 years-with Maurizio Benini on the podium. The all-star Bel Canto cast features Angela Meade in the title role of the murderous Queen of Babylon, who squares off in breathtaking duets with Arsace, a trouser role sung by Elizabeth DeShong. Javier Camarena, Ildar Abdrazakov, and Ryan Speedo Green complete the stellar cast.

Additional performances of SEMIRAMIDE will take place on February 24 and 28; March 3, 6, 10mat, 14 and 17. Curtain times vary: complete schedule here. Running time is listed as 3 hours and 29 minutes with one intermission, but it ran longer at the opening.

Saturday, March 10 matinee performance will be transmitted worldwide as part of the Met's "Live in HD" series, which is now seen in more than 2,000 movie theaters in 73 countries around the world.
