The Met: Live in HD screening of Strauss's Arabella
The Metropolitan Opera's award-winning series of live opera transmissions brings world-class productions direct from the Met stage in New York to cinemas and theaters around the globe.
Strauss’s elegant romance Arabella brings the glamour and enchantment of 19th-century Vienna to cinemas worldwide in a sumptuous production by legendary director Otto Schenk that “is as beautiful as one could hope” (The New York Times). Soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen stars as the title heroine, a young noblewoman in search of love on her own terms. Radiant soprano Louise Alder is her sister, Zdenka, and bass-baritone Tomasz Konieczny is the dashing count who sweeps Arabella off her feet. Nicholas Carter conducts.
