Met Opera 2025-26: La Sonnambula
(M)
Following triumphant performances in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette, Verdi's La Traviata, and Donizetti's Luciadi Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleep walks her way into audiences' hearts in Bellini's poignant tale of love lost and found. In his new production, Rolando Villazón — the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera's original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduagaco stars as Amina's fiancé, Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera's most ravishing works.

Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.

When satirist John Clarke died in 2017, the world mourned an icon. A defining comedic voice for over forty years, Clarke gave away very little about his own life. At home, by contrast, he was an open book. In a remarkable series of recorded conversations, John and his daughter (writer/director Lorin Clarke) trace his steadfast resistance to authority back to his childhood, delve into his early career forging a career in New Zealand, and offer delightful insights into his four decades in the entertainment industry.
