The Met: Live in HD will present Wagner’s “Tannhauser” in its first return to the Metropolitan Opera stage in more than a decade, on Saturday at noon at Guild Hall. The opera, which premiered in 1845 in Dresden, centers on the struggle between sacred and profane love, and redemption through love.

The production stars Johan Botha, a leading Wagnerian tenor, in the title role of the young knight caught between true love and passion; Eva-Maria Westbroek as Elisabeth, the heroine; Peter Mattei as Wolfram, and Michelle DeYoung as Venus. James Levine conducts. Tickets are $22, $20 for members, $15 for students.
