2021-2022 Operas within Driving Distance (coming soon)
January 23. Verdi: Il Trovatore
This was the joint debut of both Leontyne Price and Franco Corelli (Leonora and Manrico), with Met stars Robert Merrill and Irene Dalis (Count di Luna and Azucena) making up the star quartet. A truly historic performance for this year of archival material.
January 16. Verdi: La Traviata
This is a repeat of last year's La Traviata with Alexandra Kurzak as the title character with Dmitri Popov as Alfredo and Quinn Kelsey as Germont Senior.
January 9. Rossini: Barber of Seville
This 2007 performance starred Joyce DiDonato and Lawrence Brownlee as Rosina and the Count, with Russell Braun as the barber Figaro.
January 2. Philip Glass: Satyagraha
Richard Croft had one of the great successes of his career as Mahatma Gandhi in this production of Satyagraha.
December 12. Beethoven: Fidelio (2017)
Adrianne Pieczonka and Klaus Florian Vogt are Leonore and Florestan in this performance.
