Synopsis: Following triumphant Met turns in Roméo 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 Villazón—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 fiancé 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.
