The Metropolitan Opera: La Donna del Lago Encore (NR)

synopsis

The Met Opera's encore performance of Rossini's La Donna del Lago will be shown in select cinemas on Wednesday, March 18 at 6:30 p.m. in all time zones. Please note: not all cinemas showing the live transmission will present an encore showing.

Bel canto superstars Joyce DiDonato and Juan Diego Flórez join forces for this Rossini showcase of vocal virtuosity, set in the medieval Scottish highlands and based on a beloved novel by Sir Walter Scott. DiDonato is the "lady of the lake" of the title, and Flórez is the king who relentlessly pursues her, their vocal fireworks embellishing the romantic plot in this Met premiere production conducted by Michele Mariotti.
