El MET
anuncio su temporada 2021/22. Ignorando toda posibilidad de que el tema de la
pandemia no esté resuelto aún en Marzo del 2021, anuncian para ese mes el inicio de la temporada. Es una
temporada generosa en cantidad e importancia de los títulos, digna del gran
Teatro que es el Met. Hilando fino se ven algunos síntomas de apriete
financiero : predominan las reposiciones de puestas anteriores y si bien
aparecen algunas grandes figuras, no lo hacen de una manera tan preponderante
como en temporadas anteriores. Algunas de ellas, que antes eran estrellas de presencia casi
constante,no aparecen para nada en todo el año.
Una amenaza se cierne además sobre la temporada :
el Met podría entrar en quiebra entre otras cosas desbalanceado por los 3,5
millones de dólares que tuvo que pagarle a JAMES LEVINE por su despido
injustificado, ya que el Teatro no pudo probar las acusaciones de índole sexual
que formulara contra quien fue uno dde los mas importantes constructores de lo
que hoy es un gran teatro de Opera.

Pape, the world’s reigning Boris, reprises his overwhelming portrayal of the

Conductor Sebastian Weigle leads Mussorgsky’s masterwork, a pillar of the
Russian repertoire, in its original 1869 version, which runs two-and-a-quarter
hours with no intermission. Stephen Wadsworth’s affecting production poignantly
captures the hope and suffering of the Russian people as well as the tsar
himself.

Overview
For the first
time in company history, the Met presents the original five-act French version
of Verdi’s epic opera of doomed love among royalty, set against the backdrop of
the Spanish Inquisition. Yannick Nézet-Séguin leads a world-beating cast of
opera’s leading lights, including tenor Matthew Polenzani in the title role,
soprano Sonya Yoncheva as Élisabeth de Valois, and mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča
as Eboli. Bass Günther Groissböck and bass-baritone John Relyea are Philippe II
and the Grand Inquisitor, and baritone Étienne Dupuis rounds out the all-star
principal cast as Rodrigue. Verdi’s masterpiece receives a monumental new
staging by Sir David McVicar that marks his 11th Met production, placing him
among the most prolific and popular directors in recent Met memory.

has excited Met audiences in several of opera’s benchmark soprano roles, and
she adds another one this season as Tatiana, the naïve young girl who grows
into a sophisticated beauty in Tchaikovsky’s sumptuous opera of unrequited
love. Baritone Igor Golovatenko returns on the heels of an impressive 2019 Met
debut in The Queen of Spades to sing the title role of the urbane
nobleman who rejects Tatiana, much to his later dismay. Star tenor and audience
favorite Piotr Beczała is the hot-headed Lenski, and James Gaffigan conducts.

Eurydice
- 2021–22 Season
- Eurydice
Overview
The ancient
Greek myth of Orpheus, who attempts to harness the power of music to rescue his
beloved Eurydice from the underworld, has inspired composers since opera’s
earliest days. Rising American composer Matthew Aucoin now carries that
tradition into the 21st century with a captivating new take on the story—a
product of the Met’s commissioning program. With a libretto by MacArthur
“Genius Grant” recipient Sarah Ruhl, adapted from her acclaimed 2003 play, the
opera reimagines the familiar tale from Eurydice’s point of view. Yannick
Nézet-Séguin oversees the momentous Met premiere from the podium, leading
Aucoin’s evocative music and an immersive new staging by Mary Zimmerman.
Soprano Erin Morley sings the title role, opposite baritone Joshua Hopkins as
Orpheus and countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński as his otherworldly alter-ego.
Bass-baritone Nathan Berg is Eurydice’s father and fellow resident of the
underworld, with tenor Barry Banks as Hades himself.
