Midway through its Metropolitan Opera season, Guadalajara’s Teatro Diana hosts The Met: Live in HD broadcast of Antonin Dvořák’s high Romantic work “Rusalka” on Saturday, February 8, noon on the big HD screen.
Soprano Renée Fleming, the undisputed reigning diva of American opera, reprises one of her signature roles in this lavish production, which marks a high point in the Met’s season. Exciting young French Canadian Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Dvořák’s soulful score.
“I love every single bar of this opera,” said Nézet-Séguin in a Met Opera online interview. “I have been a huge fan of the music of Brahms since I was 12 years old. Discovering his music led naturally to Dvořák’s, and I quickly became a Dvořák lover as well. There is just something special about Renée and Rusalka.”
