The Met: Live in HD: La Cenerentola (Saturday & Wednesday)

The Metropolitan Opera’s Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series of live performance transmissions returns to cinemas across the United States this fall. The eighth season of The Met: Live in HD begins with Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin on Saturday, October 5 and will feature 10 live and 10 encore presentations through May 2014.

The broadcast of Rossini’s La Cenerentola will be presented live on Saturday, May 10, 2014, followed by an Encore presentation in select cinemas on Wednesday, May 14th.

A peerless pair of Rossini virtuosos joins forces in La Cenerentola—a vocal tour de force for mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, singing her first Met performances of the Cinderella title role, and the high-flying tenor Juan Diego Flórez, as her Prince Charming.

Alessandro Corbelli and Luca Pisaroni complete the cast, with Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi leading the effervescent score.
