Details:
"Metropolitan Opera: 2010 HD Summer Encores" is a series of opera performances projected in high-definition video via satellite from the Metropolitan Opera in New York City to select venues around the world. The Metropolitan Opera is America's largest classical music organization and is considered to be one of the premier opera stages in the world. New technology allows the Murdock Theatre to bring the powerful experience of seeing the Met Opera to Wichita. With high-definition close-ups, sublime sound quality, and backstage interviews with the performers, the Met HD experience is almost better than seeing the opera in person!
Synopsis:
One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen "is about sex, violence, and racism—and its corollary: freedom," says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre about his new production of Bizet's drama. "It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It's sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking." Elīna Garanča sings the seductive gypsy of the title for the first time at the Met, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don José. Rising maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts.
Conductor: Yannick Nézet-Séguin; Production: Richard Eyre; Barbara Frittoli, Elīna Garanča, Roberto Alagna, Mariusz Kwiecien
