Plácido Domingo adds yet another role to his legendary Met career in this rarely performed Verdi gem, Luisa Miller, a heart-wrenching tragedy of fatherly love.
The story, set in the 17th century, centers on the bond between a father and his daughter as they stand together against a hostile world. Sonya Yoncheva sings the title role opposite Piotr Beczała in the first Met performances of the opera in more than ten years. Bertrand de Billy conducts. The Met: Live in HD Luisa Miller will transmit live this Saturday, 11: 30 a.m. at Carib 5.
Bolshoi Ballet – The Flames of Paris will be shown this Sunday at Palace Cineplex. With powerful virtuosity and some of the most stunning pas de deux, the Bolshoi Ballet displays an exuberance almost too enormous for the Moscow stage in The Flames of Paris. In the era of the French Revolution, Jeanne and her brother Jérôme leave Marseille for Paris in support the revolutionary effort that is taking over the capital. While fighting for freedom, they both encounter love along the way.
