The Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning Live in HD series returns to Guild Hall on Saturday, October 18, with a transmission of Bellini’s “La Sonnambula” from 1 to 4:30 p.m.
Soprano Nadine Sierra stars as Amina in this new production by Rolando Villazón, set in the Swiss Alps and designed to delve into the emotional and psychological landscape of Bellini’s poignant opera about love, betrayal, and redemption. Tenor Xabier Anduaga co-stars as Elvino, Amina’s fiancé, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza conducts.
“La Sonnambula” follows Sierra’s acclaimed Live in HD performances in “Roméo et Juliette,” “La Traviata” and “Lucia di Lammermoor,” marking another milestone in her career with one of the most technically demanding roles in the soprano repertoire.
This Live in HD presentation is part of the Met’s global cinema series and is a co-production with Opéra de Nice Côte d’Azur, Semperoper Dresden, and Théâtre des Champs-Elysées.
Tickets are $27 to $30 at the Guild Hall box office or guildhall.org. The screening takes place at Guild Hall, 158 Main Street, East Hampton.
