The season’s undeniable prestige production, this new Tristan und Isolde features MET music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducting, with Lise Davidsen and Michael Spyres in the dual title roles.

Vincenzo Bellini’s final opera is a veritable apotheosis of bel canto that should only be presented to an audience with performers displaying impeccable technique and stylistic sensibilities.

Without ever knowing, the heroine of this Vincenzo Bellini opera performs death-defying feats at dizzying heights, while the singer tasked with portraying her is only too aware that hers is one of the bel canto repertoire’s most beautiful and risky roles.

Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s last joint opera, Arabella is a cheerful and poignant farewell to a bygone, peaceful Vienna. It now returns to the MET’s repertoire in Otto Schenk’s 1983 production, following his sad passing this year.

“Loved to the gallows” could be an alternative title of Umberto Giordano’s opera, which serves up a grand historical tableau, a love that even defies death, and, last but not least, three brilliant leading roles.

The life of the title character of Wagner’s early opera Tannhäuser, based on the hero of medieval legend, is a struggle between sensuality and asceticism.
