The fourth Met Opera: Live in HD broadcast of the 24/25 season, co-presented by the Lakes District Arts Council and The Beacon Theatre, is Beethoven鈥檚 glorious and life-affirming opera Fidelio on Sunday, April 13th at 1:00 pm.
Soprano Lise Davidsen stars as Leonore, who risks everything to save her husband from the clutches of tyranny. Tenor David Butt Philip is the political prisoner Florestan, sharing the stage with bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny as the villainous Don Pizarro. Veteran bass Ren茅 Pape is the jailer Rocco, with soprano Ying Fang and tenor Magnus Dietrich are the young Marzelline and Jaquino. Bass Stephen Milling sings the principled Don Fernando. Susanna M盲lkki conducts the Met鈥檚 striking production, which finds modern-day parallels in Beethoven鈥檚 stirring paean to freedom. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met鈥檚 award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
Tickets for the Met operas this season will be $15.00 each, and are available starting at 12:30 pm at The Beacon Theatre box office the day of the performance.
