WARNER THEATRE’S 2015-2016 METROPOLITAN OPERA

LIVE IN HD SEASON CONTINUES WITH

January 16, 2016

Torrington, CT – The Warner Theatre’s Metropolitan Opera Live in HD Series continues with Bizet’s LES PÊCHEURS DE PERLES in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre at 12:55 pm on Saturday, January 16, 2016.

Bizet’s gorgeous opera of lust and longing set in the Far East returns to the Met stage for the first time in 100 years. Soprano Diana Damrau stars as Leïla, the beautiful Hindu priestess pursued by rival pearl divers competing for her hand. Her suitors are tenor Matthew Polenzani and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien, who sing the lilting duet “Au fond du temple saint,” which opera fans know and adore. Director Penny Woolcock explores the timeless themes of pure love, betrayal, and vengeance in a production that vividly creates an undersea world on the stage of the Met. Conductor Gianandrea Noseda brings his romantic flair to the lush score from the composer of Carmen.

A complimentary pre-opera lecture will be presented by Nunzio DeFilippis and offered to all ticketholders two-hours before broadcast begins in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre lobby.

Half Season Subscriptions are available. Single ticket price $27, Senior ticket $25, Student ticket (with ID) $20, Child ticket $16. For single tickets, call the Warner Box Office at (860) 489-7180.
