2021-2022 Operas within Driving Distance
July 3. Mozart: Don Giovanni
This production was made for several opera houses working together, including Houston Grand Opera, where I saw it. This performance was the opening night of the 2019 season and was an HD broadcast.
June 26. Verdi: Les Vepres Sicilienne
The French version of The Sicilian Vespers premiered at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in 2013 and had a world-wide HD broadcast.
June 12. Handel: Acis and Galatea/Apollo and Dafne
This double bill was performed for film due to COVID.
June 5. Benjamin Britten: Billy Budd
The 1997 Billy Budd remains one of the Met's great recorded performances. The performance has been available on video for years, and spotlights three magnificent performances by Dwayne Croft, James Morris, and Philip Langridge.
