Summer Encore: Carmen
The Met Opera Summer Encore Tickets go on sale mid-April. This summer look forward to Carmen, Il Trovatore, Armida, La Traviata. Visit our opera page for more information.
One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen "is
about sex, violence, and racism-and its corollary:
freedom," says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre
about his new production of Bizet's drama. "It is one of
the inalienably great works of art. It's sexy, in every
sense. And I think it should be shocking." Elĩna Garanča
sings the seductive gypsy of the title for the first time
at the Met, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don Jos
é. Rising maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts.

Summer Encore: Il Trovatore
David McVicar's popular production returns with Patricia Racette, Sondra Radvanovsky, Dolora Zajick, Marcelo Álvarez, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and Željko Lucic. Marco Armiliato conducts.
The story takes place in Biscay and Aragon during the fifteenth century. Before the opera begins, Azucena is forced to witness her mother's execution after the old gypsy woman is accused of cursing the younger son of the Count di Luna. To avenge her mother's death, she steals the child and intends to throw him into the fire, but mistakenly burns her own child instead. She raises the child, whom she names Manrico, as her own, intending to use him later as an instrument of revenge. Meanwhile the elder son becomes the next Count di Luna, and believes that his brother may still be alive.

Summer Encore: Armida
This mythical story of a sorceress who enthralls men in her island prison has inspired operatic settings by a multitude of composers, including Gluck, Haydn, and Dvorák. Renée Fleming stars in the title role of Rossini's version, opposite no fewer than six tenors. Tony Award winner Mary Zimmerman returns to direct this new production of a work she describes as "a buried treasure, a box of jewels." The fanciful and magical tale, Zimmerman says, "has an epic, enchanted quality and a tremendous visual element".

Summer Encore: La Traviata
Natalie Dessay will put on the red dress in Willy Decker's stunning production, in her first Violetta at the Met. Matthew Polenzani sings Alfredo, Dmitri Hvorostovsky is Germont, and Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium.
Violetta, a courtesan much wooed by Parisian society, organizes a grand party that is attended, amongst others, by the young Alfredo Germont. He confesses his feelings to Violetta, who is already suffering from consumption. She vacillates between genuine affection and a realistic assessment of her situation as a "fallen woman", which precludes any lasting relationship with a man.

Summer Encore: Turandot
The Met: Live in HD. This breathtaking production of Puccini's final opera is a favorite of the Met repertoire. The ruthless Chinese princess of the title hates men is so strongly that she has all suitors who can't solve her riddles beheaded. Calaf the unknown prince, eventually wins her love. Solos include the famous "Nessun dorma."
General: $12.50, Student: $7.50
Summer Encore: Il Barbiere di Siviglia
Il barbiere di Siviglia remains the most popular of Rossini's comic operas, providing a witty and lively score to accompany a series of incidents worthy of any farce. Rossini's opera deals with the plan by Count Almaviva to woo Rosina and win her hand in marriage. With the help of the barber and general factotum Figaro, he carries out his plan to outwit her guardian, Dr Bartolo, who has his eye on his ward's fortune.
