Met Live in HD: "La Sonnambula" - (Bellini; 3 hours, 15 minutes – one intermission) - New production with Pre-opera talk. Playing as an "encore only" Saturday, Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga co-stars as Amina’s fiancé, Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo.  Pre-Opera talk, presented by Dr. Morton Achter, begins at 11:45 a.m. Tickets: $25 adult, $23 LT member, and only $5 for youth ages 18 and under. Tickets and Met Live in HD season subscriptions (save 10%) are on sale now!
