Next Episode of Great Performances at the Met is
unknown.
Opera lovers, rejoice! If you can't make it to New York to see a performance at the Metropolitan Opera, the next best thing to being there is to see one of its Saturday matinees broadcast on PBS on Great Performances at the Met. Originally aired as part of its "Great Performances" series, the programs got their own title in 2006. With operatic standards like "Aida", "The Barber of Seville" and "Turandot" and performances by some of opera's biggest names, including Reneé Flemming, Placido Domingo and Anna Netrebko, the series brings the best of modern opera into American homes.
Experience two-time Tony Award–winning composer Jeanine Tesori's new opera based on librettist George Brant's acclaimed play. Mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo stars as Jess, a hot-shot fighter pilot whose unplanned pregnancy takes her out of the cockpit and lands her in Las Vegas, operating a Reaper drone halfway around the world. Production staged by Michael Mayer; Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts.
Angel Blue makes her highly anticipated Met role debut as Aida, the Ethiopian princess torn between love and country. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium of Michael Mayer's new staging, featuring intricate projections of ancient Egypt and animations. Completing Verdi's epic love triangle are Judit Kutasi as Aida's Egyptian rival Amneris and Piotr Beczała as soldier Radamès, joined by Quinn Kelsey as Amonasro, Morris Robinson as Ramfis and Harold Wilson as the King.
