The final Met broadcast of the 2024/25 season revisits Bartlett Sher's sparklingly alive Rossini production, this time conducted by Giacomo Sagripanti, who trained in the composer's native Pesaro. more
Taking the stage as the temperamental Rosina will be the Russian Aigul Akhmetshina, a tremendous discovery of recent years, joined not only by the young American tenor Jack Swanson as he makes his Met debut as Almaviva, but also by Moldova's Andrey Zhilikhovsky as the manly Figaro and, to our proud delight, our fellow Hungarian Péter Kálmán, who will be taking on Doctor Bartolo.
The broadcast will be sung in the original language, and shown with Hungarian and English subtitles.
