Tosca on November 23, 2024. Action takes place during a revolution in which a struggle emerges between a very volatile diva, Floria Tosca, and her revolutionary lover and painter, Cavaradossi, and the sadistic chief of police, Scarpio, who wants Tosca. The music is magnificent Puccini.
Aida on January 25, 2025. New production featuring an Ethiopian princess torn between love and country. This is the premier production of New Year's Eve at The Met with spectacular new staging and brings audiences inside the towering pyramids and gilded tombs of ancient Egypt. Features a love triangle with glorious procession music by Verdi.
Fidelio on March 15, 2025. Leonore risks everything to save her husband from the clutches of tyranny. There are many modern-day parallels in Beethoven's stirring paean to freedom.
Le Nozze di Figaro on April 26, 2025. Mozart's comic masterpiece with Figaro, as the clever valet alongside his betrothed-the wily maid Suzanna, as well as the skirt-chasing Count, his anguised wife and the adolescent page. A lot of fast fun.
Salome on May 17, 2025. New production with a white-hot one act tragedy by Strauss. The biblical story already filtered through the beautiful and strange imagination of Oscar Wilde's play. A psychologically perceptive Victorian-era setting, rich in symbolism and subtle shades of darkness and light. Starring the abused and unhinged antiheroine, who demands the head of Jochanaan and coming from the background of her lecherous stepfather, King Herod.
Il Barbiere di Siviglia on May 31, 2025. Figaro, the infamous barber of Seville, joins an outstanding cast in Rossini's effervescent comedy. Bartlett Sher staging with a winning ensemble, including a feisty heroine, high flying tenors and a secret beloved.
