CloseThe Met Opera bring a selection from their award-winning series of live, high-definition performance transmissions to Warwick Arts Centre.
Conducted by: Yannick Nézet-Séguin
Directed by: Nicholas Hytner
Featuring: Marina Poplavskaya, Anna Smirnova, Roberto Alagna, Simon Keenlyside, Ferruccio Furlanetto
Director Nicholas Hytner makes his Met debut with this new production of Verdi’s profound, beautiful and most ambitious opera. Roberto Alagna leads the cast, and Ferruccio Furlanetto, Marina Poplavskaya, Anna Smirnova and Simon Keenlyside also star.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin, back after his triumphant debut leading Carmen, conducts.
“I think Don Carlo is the quintessential Verdi opera,” Hytner says. “Right through this opera there is, on the one hand, an implacable expression of impending doom and, on the other hand, a succession of the most gloriously open-throated arias, the most fantastically determined music.”

I notice your opera productions are all Met HD. We saw Turandot last year (it was OK!) but prefer live opera so sorry not interested this year! We would prefer local live opera productions.
