SUMMARY:MET OPERA: Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:Macbeth\nOur 2026-27 season opens with hair-raising drama and spectacular singing as two of opera’s most extraordinary artists star in Macbeth\, Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean tale of the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost. Following past triumphs in many of Verdi’s signature baritone roles\, Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne\, opposite Lise Davidsen— the world’s reigning dramatic soprano—as the power-mad Lady Macbeth\, whose ruinous ambition damns them both. \nMet Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for a penetrating production by Louisa Proske\, a brilliant young director making waves around the world. Rounding out the all-star cast are tenor Freddie De Tommaso as the heroic Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as Macbeth’s friend-turned-victim Banquo. \nDoors & Bar open 6:30pm \nSuitability: 12+

SUMMARY:MET OPERA: Eugene Onegin
DESCRIPTION:Eugene Onegin –  \nPushkin presents a vast overview of old Russian society around 1820\, which Tchaikovsky’s original score neatly divides into each of its three acts: from the timeless rituals of country life to the rural gentry with its troubles and pleasures and\, finally\, the glittering imperial aristocracy of St. Petersburg. The Met’s production places the action in the later 19th century\, around the time of the opera’s premiere. \nTchaikovsky’s universally beloved lyric gifts are at their most powerful and multilayered in this opera. Rich ensembles and buoyant dance numbers punctuate the work\, and the vocal solos are among the most striking in the repertory: Anyone who can remember the first stirrings of love will be moved by Tatiana’s Letter Scene\, in which she rhapsodically composes a letter to Onegin in an outpouring of gorgeous melody. This is rivalled in popularity by the tenor’s moving farewell to his young life in Act II\, while Onegin’s Act III narrative on the pointlessness of life borders on Wagnerian. \nFollowing her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly\, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana\, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin. Baritone Igor Golovatenko reprises his portrayal of the urbane Onegin\, who realises his affection for her all too late. The Met’s evocative production\, directed by Tony Award–winner Deborah Warner\, “offers a beautifully detailed reading of … Tchaikovsky’s lyrical romance” (The Telegraph). \nDoors & Bar open at 6.30 pm \nSuitability: 12+
