THE world famous Met Opera in New York will broadcast Verdi’s Ernani to The Blake Theatre in Monmouth tomorrow at 6pm as part of their Live in HD season.
The production stars four extraordinary singers.
American soprano Angela Meade, whose victory in the Met’s National Council Auditions was chronicled in the 2008 documentary film The Audition, takes the role of the noblewoman Elvira.
Marcello Giordani, star of the Live in HD transmissions of Manon Lescaut, La Damnation de Faust, Madama Butterfly, Turandot, Simon Boccanegra, and La Fanciulla del West, sings the title role of the noble bandit who loves Elvira.
Dmitri Hvorostovsky is Don Carlo, a royal suitor for Elvira’s hand and Ferruccio Furlanetto is da Silva, a wealthy relative with his own designs on Elvira.
