The Met Live Returns
Tchaikovsky’s opera “Eugene Onegin,” which opened the season at the Metropolitan Opera, will launch the 2013-14 series of live HD performances at Guild Hall on Saturday at 1 p.m. Anna Netrebko and Mariusz Kwiecien star as the love-struck Tatiana and the imperious Onegin in Tchaikovsky’s fateful romance. Deborah Warner’s new production, set in the late 19th century, moves episodically from farmhouse to ballroom, with a powerful snowstorm providing the dramatic setting for the finale. The Russian maestro Valery Gergiev conducts.
Future programs include Shostakovich’s “The Nose,” based on Gogol’s comic story (Oct. 26), Verdi’s “Falstaff,” in a new production set in mid-20th-century England (Dec. 18), Dvorak’s “Rusalka” (Feb. 8), Borodin’s “Prince Igor” (March 1), Massenet’s “Werther” (March 15), Puccini’s “La Boheme” (April 5), Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte” (April 26), and Rossini’s “La Cenerentola” (May 10).
