Director Nicholas Hytner (The History Boys, The Madness of King George), makes his Met debut with this new production. âRight through this opera there is, on the one hand, an implacable expression of impending doom and, on the other hand, a succession of the most gloriously open-throated arias, the most fantastically determined music.â

Roberto Alagna leads the cast in the title role. Ferruccio Furlanetto, Marina Poplavskaya, Anna Smirnova and Simon Keenlyside also star in Verdiâs most ambitious opera. In this epic tragedy, romantic desire shapes the course of nations. Yannick Nézet-Séguin, back after his triumphant debut leading Carmen, conducts.

Approximate running time 4 hrs. 45 min.

Composer: Giuseppe Verdi
Original French libretto by Francois Joseph Mery and Camille du Locle.
Sung in Italian with Met Titles in English, German and Spanish

• Directions: Subway: 1 to 66th Street - Lincoln Center
