Running time: 195 mins

Opera, Music, Theatre

Following triumphant Met turns in Rom�o et Juliette, La Traviata, and Lucia di Lammermoor, 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 Villaz�n�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 returns after his acclaimed 2023 Met debut in L�Elisir d�Amore, co-starring as Amina�s fianc� Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera�s most ravishing works.
