Sung in Italian with English subtitles.
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.
