This is a masterpiece by Bellini, the “melodic genius” who epitomizes bel canto opera. This rare and precious work will be presented for the first time in 15 years in a new production on MET Live Viewing. The production is directed by Rolando Villazón, a world-renowned tenor who has risen to fame as a director. The orthodox direction, which delves deeply into the characters’ psychology, brings a new perspective to this story of love and suspicion. The protagonist, Amina, a village girl about to be married, is sung by Nadine Sierra, a soprano who has taken the contemporary opera world by storm and who also starred in the Royal Opera’s Japan tour. Amina’s fiancé, Elvino, is played by Xavier Anduaga, a young star who won the Operalia Competition sponsored by Plácido Domingo and is a master of the role. This world-class duo will perform the ultimate bel canto duet. Image
