Sunday afternoon, June 29th: The Met Live in HD presents 鈥業l Barbiere di Siviglia鈥� at The Beacon Theatre
The sixth and final Met Opera: Live in HD broadcast of the 24/25 season, co-presented by the Lakes District Arts Council and The Beacon Theatre, is Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) on Sunday, June 29th at 1:00 pm.
Rossini鈥檚 perfectly honed treasure Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville) survived a famously disastrous opening night to become what may be the world鈥檚 most popular comic opera. Its buoyant good humor and elegant melodies have delighted audiences for two centuries. Rossini鈥檚 effervescent comedy takes the stage in Bartlett Sher鈥檚 madcap production. Mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina headlines a winning ensemble as the feisty heroine, Rosina. Jack Swanson costars as her secret beloved, Count Almaviva. Baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky stars as Figaro, the barber of Seville. Bass-baritone Peter K谩lm谩n appears as Dr. Bartolo and bass Alexander Vinogradov is Don Basilio. Giacomo Sagripanti conducts this live cinema transmission, part of the Met鈥檚 Live in HD series bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
Tickets for the Met operas this season will be $15.00 each, and are available starting at 12:30 pm at The Beacon Theatre box office the day of the performance. Look for LDAC ads coming soon in the Lakes District 亚洲天堂.
