THE MET: LIVE IN HD
Un Ballo in Maschera by Giuseppe Verdi
Host: Deborah Voigt
The Met presents a new production of Un Ballo in Maschera, Verdi’s classic drama of political intrigue and thwarted romance, staged by acclaimed opera director David Alden and led by Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi. The performance will be available to North Country audiences to view live on the big screen at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts at 1pm on Saturday, December 8. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for LPCA Members, $12 for students 18 & under. Series tickets are also available for those wishing to attend 6 operas throughout the course of the season. Themed Box Lunches from Saranac Sourdough are available to order at the Box Office prior to the performance and will be delivered for intermission. Call LPCA at 523-2512 for more information and to purchase tickets.
Some of the Met’s leading Verdi stars take on the central roles in the opera’s love triangle: Marcelo Álvarez as the ill-fated King Gustavo III; Dmitri Hvorostovsky as his best friend and eventual rival, Count Anckarström; and Sondra Radvanovsky as Amelia, Anckarström’s wife and the object of the king’s secret passion. Kathleen Kim sings the coloratura role of Oscar, Gustavo’s page, and Stephanie Blythe is Mme. Ulrica Arvidsson, a fortune-teller with ominous news for the king. Soprano Deborah Voigt hosts the transmission and conducts backstage interviews with the stars. (Running time: approximately 204 minutes, including two intermissions.)
