MET OPERA LIVE IN HD – 2022-23 season

Ticket sales for the award-winning series have already started.

Clasart Classic brings the new season of The Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD series to German and Austrian cinemas.

The 2022–23 season will begin on 22 October, with a live transmission of Cherubini’s MEDEA, a Met-premiere production starring soprano Sondra Radvanovsky in the title role.

In addition to Medea, the 2022–23 Live in HD season will feature two more company premieres, both led by Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin: Kevin Puts’s THE HOURS, in its world-premiere production, starring the powerhouse trio of soprano Renée Fleming, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, and soprano Kelli O’Hara, and the Met premiere of Terence Blanchard’s first opera, CHAMPION, about the life of boxer Emile Griffith.

Four additional new productions will be presented throughout the season: Giordano’s FEDORA with soprano Sonya Yoncheva in the title role; Wagner’s LOHENGRIN starring tenor Piotr Beczała; and two Mozart operas conducted by Nathalie Stutzmann, including a cinematic staging of DON GIOVANNI by Ivo van Hove and Simon McBurney’s production of DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE, which raises the orchestra pit to allow interaction with the cast.

Live in HD audiences will also have the chance to see Michael Mayer’s celebrated production of Verdi’s LA TRAVIATA starring soprano Nadine Sierra as Violetta; and the return of two of Robert Carsen’s productions, including Verdi’s FALSTAFF, with baritone Michael Volle singing the title role in his first Verdi opera at the Met, and Strauss’s DER ROSENKAVALIER, with soprano Lise Davidsen and mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as the Marschallin and Octavian.
