Nemorino (Matthew Polenzani) is in love with Adina (Anna Netrebko), but isn't too sure if she feels the same way about him. She might be more interested in the handsome Sgt Belcore (Marius Kwieczen). Perhaps a bottle of Dr. Dulcamara's special love potion will help....

It took Verdi's publisher several months and repeated meetings to coax the composer out of retirement; it was only after meeting his librettist, Arrigo Boito, that Verdi finally gave in and agreed to compose Otello. The work was an immediate success and has remained so since; it is one of the pinnacles of Western music, with vocal writing that nearly all singers aspire to, from the dark intensity of the conniving Iago, to the brooding and enraged Otello, to the loving and tender Desdemona. The final act is a non-stop flow of music wedded to drama, showing the composer in full control of his art.

Based on Shakespeare's play in spirit and story, if not the actual text. Composer Ades employs a variety of musical styles and forms, ranging from dissonance to lyrical tonality and even a form borrowed from baroque era - a passacaglia for five voice in the third act. As one reviewer wrote of it: "Contemporary lyriic opera is still viable... [this} looks and behaves like an opera... characterization and dramatic pacing are wonderfully sustained."

Mozart went two years without an opera commission after Cosi Fan Tutte in 1788. La Clemenza di Tito was composed "on spec" for the new emperor's coronation and is something of a regression for Mozart in choice of subject matter. The libretto had already been used nearly 40 times by other composers, with minor revisions here and there. Intrigue in ancient Rome, the Capitol burns, Emperor Tito forgives everybody. Give Mozart a break, he needed the cash.

Sung with great power and drama by Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Marcleo Alvarez, and Sondra Radvanovsky. The staging is often at odds with the libretto: for instance, in the second scene, we are supposedly in the hut of witch / fortune-teller Ulrica. Why does it seem that we are at a coffee-house or library reading room? Why do Amelia and the Governor and Renato have their secret encounter in a brightly-lit public hall: surely they would all recognize one another, no? Why does the page-boy Oscar have feathers?

Berlioz did not live long enough to see a fully realized performance of his monumental achievement: the operatic version of Virgil's Aeneid. In its day it was overshadowed by the more popular works by Meyerbeer (L'Africaine) and Halevy (Le Juive) but in the later half of the 20th century it has come to be recognized for its forward-looking musical ideas and breadth of expression. A cast of Met powehouses takes us through the Trojan Wars of antiquity.

The second in Donizetti's trilogy of the "Tudor Queens" is the story of Mary, Queen of Scots. Even working within the constraints of bel canto conventions, Donizetti infuses the drama with moments of intense emotion, most notably in the duet between the two queens (Mary and Elizabeth) in which the accusations and insults and hostilities are hurled in every direction.

Rigoletto re-imagined for some reason in Las Vegas, Rat Pack era. The Duke is now Frank Sinatra, the courtiers are his buddies. Rigoletto might be Don Rickles. Who can say? Two oddities in this: for their initial encounter hit-man and would-be assassin Sparafucile and Rigoletto buddy-up to the bar. One would think they'd exercise a little more discretion, given the subject matter of their conversation. And for the final scene, when Rigoletto discovers a body in the trunk of his car, it's tempting to shout out, "Well, drive her to the emergency room, for Pete's sake.."

The Met assembled an ideal cast for François Girard’s acclaimed new production of Wagner’s final masterpiece. Jonas Kaufmann in the title role of the fool “made wise by compassion” is as convincing vocally as he is haunting dramatically, delivering a thoroughly moving portrayal. René Pape is equally compelling as Gurnemanz, the veteran Knight of the Grail, and Katarina Dalayman thrillingly brings out the dual sides of Kundry. Peter Mattei is Amfortas, the anguished ruler of the Grail’s kingdom, and Evgeny Nikitin sings the evil magician Klingsor. Daniele Gatti on the podium reveals both the serenity and dramatic tension of what may be Wagner’s greatest score.

Paulo is sent by his brother Giovanni to fetch him a bride, and now Francesca waits for him to arrive. This being opera, they immediately fall head over heels in love. Still, she has been promised to the brother, who happens to be older and a powerful and remorseless warrior. This story is drawn from Dante, and the moral seems pretty clear: It's not cool to sleep with your brother's new wife.

Handel's opera tells the story of Julius Caesar's visit to Cleopatra in Egypt. It is considered by many to be the prime example of opera seria: a noble and "serious" style of Italian opera that predominated in Europe from the 1710s to c. 1770. The castrati voices dominated these works, though nowadays they are more likely to be sung by a countertenor or mezzo. This was also the period that gave rise to the "prima donna" or Leading Lady, who typically had several showy, florid arias in varying styles composed for her.
