Met Opera Broadcast in HD:
Agrippina
The Academy Center of the Arts has just announced the Metropolitan Opera HD Broadcast 19-20 season, featuring Agrippina on Saturday, 2/29 at 12:55pm in the Historic Academy of Music Theatre.
Handel’s tale of intrigue and impropriety in ancient Rome receives its first Met performances, with star mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato as the controlling, power-hungry Agrippina and Harry Bicket conducting. Sir David McVicar’s production ingeniously reframes the action of this black comedy about the abuse of power to “the present,” where it should loudly resonate. The all-star cast features mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey as Agrippina’s son and future emperor Nerone, soprano Brenda Rae as the seductive Poppea, countertenor Iestyn Davies as the ambitious officer Ottone, and bass Matthew Rose as the weary emperor Claudius.

Students: $14.00
