Vincenzo Bellini’s final opera is a veritable apotheosis of bel canto that should only be presented to an audience with performers displaying impeccable technique and stylistic sensibilities. The MET’s new production, directed by Charles Edwards, promises just such an extraordinary line-up as the improbably high vocal parts are to be delivered with effortless mastery by virtuosos like Lisette Oropesa and Lawrence Brownlee. Alongside these two stellar American bel canto specialists, Artur Ruciński, a Polish baritone with an exceptional presence will shine in delivering several operatic hits in a performance conducted by Marco Armiliato, renowned for his remarkable rapport with singers.
The broadcast will be sung in the original language, and shown with Hungarian and English subtitles.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
