Ticket Price range: $10.00 through $25.00On Saturday, January 10, the Metropolitan Opera presents I Puritani live to theaters worldwide. Bellini’s I Puritani delivers a high-stakes dramatic rollercoaster, fusing sublime melodies with the intense emotional torment of a fragile young bride driven mad by political strife and a harrowing tale of presumed betrayal.
Soprano Lisette Oropesa and tenor Lawrence Brownlee star in a new production of Bellini’s final masterpiece, leading a quartet of stars as Elvira and Arturo, who are brought together by love and torn apart by the political rifts of the English Civil War. Baritone Artur Ruciński is Riccardo, betrothed to Elvira against her will, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn is Elvira’s sympathetic uncle, Giorgio. Marco Armiliato conducts the new production, which will be transmitted live from the Met stage to cinemas on January 10.
The company presents the first new production of Bellini’s masterpiece in nearly 50 years—a striking staging by Charles Edwards, who makes his company directorial debut after many successes as a set designer.
Lisette Oropesa, opera’s spectacular coloratura soprano, stars as Elvira, who loses her mind in three riveting mad scenes.
The exceptional cast also stars celebrated bel canto tenor Lawrence Brownlee as Arturo, with baritone Artur Ruciński and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Riccardo and Giorgio.
I Puritani was the final work from Bellini, the great Sicilian exponent of the bel canto style of opera. It was written specifically for the talents of four of the best singers of its day, and the opera’s success depends on the vocal abilities (and artistic sensibilities) of the performers.
