2014-15 MetOpera Live in HD Season Continues with LE NOZZE DI FIGARO at Warner Theatre
By: Tyler Peterson
The Metropolitan Opera Live in HD Series continues in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre at 1 pm on October 18th with Mozart's LE NOZZE DI FIGARO.
Met Music Director James Levine conducts a spirited new production of Mozart's masterpiece, directed by Richard Eyre, who sets the action of this classic domestic comedy in a 19th-century manor house in Seville, but during the gilded age of the late 1920s. Dashing bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov leads the cast in the title role of the clever servant, opposite Marlis Petersen as his bride, Susanna, Peter Mattei as the philandering Count they work for, Marina Poplavskaya as the long-suffering Countess, and Isabel Leonard as the libidinous pageboy Cherubino.
A complimentary pre-opera lecture will be presented by Nunzio DeFilippis and offered to all ticketholders two-hours before broadcast begins in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre lobby. For tickets, call the Warner Box Office at 860-489-7180 or visit www.warnertheatre.org. Single ticket price $27, Senior ticket $25, Student ticket (with ID) $20, Child ticket $16. Full and Half Season Subscriptions are available.
