NEW PRODUCTION • Following triumphant Live in HD performances in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette (2024), Verdi’s La Traviata (2022), and Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor (2022), Nadine Sierra, one of opera’s greatest stars, takes on another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found. • One of today’s most in demand young bel canto tenors, Xabier Anduaga makes his Live in HD debut, co-starring as Amina’s fiancé, Elvino. • Rolando Villazón—the renowned tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—reinvigorates this rarely performed opera with a fresh new production, retaining the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but using its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. • Riccardo Frizza conducts Bellini’s masterpiece of the bel canto repertoire, which features the soprano’s dazzling arias “Ah! non credea mirarti” and “Ah! non giunge uman pensiero.” |
