Met Opera 2025-26: Arabella
(M)
Strauss's elegant romance 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 noble woman 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.
