WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Metropolitan Opera's broadcast production of "Fedora" airs at the Clark Art Institute on Saturday, Jan. 14 at 12:55 pm in the fourth installment of the 2022–23 season of The Met: Live in HD. 

 

The award-winning series of live, high-definition cinema simulcasts features the full live performance along with backstage interviews and commentary. 

 

The Clark broadcasts the opera in its auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.

 

According to a press release, Umberto Giordano's drama returns to the Metropolitan Opera for the first time in twenty-five years. The new production stars soprano Sonya Yoncheva in the title role of the nineteenth-century Russian princess who falls in love with her fiancé's murderer, Count Loris, sung by star tenor Piotr Becza?a. Soprano Rosa Feola is the Countess Olga, Fedora's confidante, and baritone Artur Rucin?ski is the diplomat De Siriex, with much-loved Met maestro Marco Armiliato conducting. Director David McVicar delivers a detailed and dramatic staging based around an ingenious fixed set.
