Gianandrea Noseda conducts the sumptuous score. The production, by director Bartlett Sher, has already won acclaim for its vivid 18th-century milieu and stunning costumes during runs at Salzburg and La Scala.
21, 12:55 p.m.: Roméo Et Juliette (new production): When Diana Damrau and Vittorio Grigolo starred opposite each other in Manon at the Met in 2015, the New York Times said, “the temperature rises nearly to boiling every time Damrau and Grigolo are on stage together.” Now they’re back as opera’s classic lovers, in Gounod’s lush Shakespeare adaptation. Dmitri Belosselskiy is the stentorian voice of the oppressed Hebrew people. Liudmyla Monastyrska is Abigaille, the warrior woman determined to rule empires, and Jamie Barton is the heroic Fenena. 7, 12:55 p.m.: Verdi’s Nabucco: The legendary Plácido Domingo brings another new baritone role to the Met under the baton of his longtime collaborator James Levine.
8, 12 p.m.: Wagner’s Tristan Und Isolde (new production): The Met season opens with a new production by Mariusz Treliński (the director responsible for last season’s double billing of Iolanta and Bluebeard’s Castle), and will be well served by a cast of outstanding Wagnerians: Nina Stemme as Isolde, Stuart Skelton as Tristan, Ekaterina Gubanova as Bragäne and Reńe Pape as King Marke, with Sir Simon Rattle conduction in one of his rare appearance as the Met.
