Sun, May 18 at 1:30 pm, Encore (ends at 4:40)

Experience the "exceedingly yummy operatic cake" that was called "the operatic show of the season" by The Times of London when it opened at Covent Garden this past winter. Audiences were dazzled by Natalie Dessay's fearless coloratura and impeccable comic timing and by Juan Diego Flórez’s remarkable musicality —complete with the famous high Cs. Dessay and Flórez are an "operatic coupling made in heaven" raved the Financial Times. Directed by Laurent Pelly, the production also boasts stage legend and four-time Tony Award® winner Zoe Caldwell as the Duchess of Krakenthorp.

Conductor Marco Armiliato; Production Laurent Pelly; Natalie Dessay, Felicity Palmer, Juan Diego Flórez, Alessandro Corbelli, Zoe Caldwell
