A comedic opera about the confusing nature of love.
Donizetti’s beloved comic opera features some of the world's most celebrated bel canto singers as the opportunistic landowner and the hapless peasant in search of love.
Sopranos Golda Schultz and Aleksandra Kurzak alternate as Adina, sharing love and coming into conflict with tenors Javier Camarena and Xabier Anduaga, in his Met debut, as Nemorino. Italian maestro Michele Gamba also makes his company debut conducting Bartlett Sher’s bold staging, which features baritones Davide Luciano and Joshua Hopkins as the swaggering Sgt. Belcore and baritone Ambrogio Maestri and bass-baritone Alex Esposito as the lovable huckster Dr. Dulcamara.
