12:55 pm: The Met Opera Live in HD "Don Giovanni" {WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART}12:55 pm: The Met Opera Live in HD "Don Giovanni" {WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART} 
Tony Award–winning director of Broadway’s A View from the Bridge and West Side Story, Ivo van Hove makes a major Met debut with a new take on Mozart’s tragicomedy, re-setting the familiar tale of deceit and damnation in an abstract architectural landscape and shining a light into the dark corners of the story and its characters. Maestro Nathalie Stutzmann makes her Met debut conducting a star-studded cast led by baritone Peter Mattei as a magnetic Don Giovanni, alongside the Leporello of bass-baritone Adam Plachetka. Sopranos Federica Lombardi, Ana María Martínez, and Ying Fang make a superlative trio as Giovanni’s conquests—Donna Anna, Donna Elvira, and Zerlina—and tenor Ben Bliss is Don Ottavio. Cost: $25/$20/$15 |

12:55 pm: The Met Opera Live in HD "Die Zauberflöte" {WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART}12:55 pm: The Met Opera Live in HD "Die Zauberflöte" {WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART} 
A sublime fairy tale written for a theater located just outside Vienna. The story is told in a singspiel (“song-play”) format characterized by separate musical numbers connected by dialogue and stage activity, an excellent structure for navigating the diverse moods, ranging from solemn to lighthearted, of the story and score. The composer and the librettist were both Freemasons—the fraternal order whose membership is held together by shared moral and metaphysical ideals—and Masonic imagery is used throughout the work. The story, however, is as universal as any fairy tale. Cost: $25/$20/$15 |
