Bartlett Sher’s bold new take on Verdi’s timeless tragedy arrives in
cinemas on January 29. The Tony Award–winning director resets the
opera’s action in 1920s Europe, with Art Deco sets by Michael Yeargan
and elegant costumes by Catherine Zuber, themselves boasting a combined
11 Tony Awards. Baritone Quinn Kelsey, a commanding artist at the height
of his powers, brings his searing portrayal of the title role to the
Met for the first time, starring alongside soprano Rosa Feola as Gilda
and tenor Piotr Beczala as the Duke of Mantua, with leading maestro
Daniele Rustioni on the podium. This live cinema transmission is part of
the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
