The Metropolitan Opera

This season, the Met presents Handel’s early masterpiece Agrippina for the first time, in a pointed production by Sir David McVicar that stars Joyce DiDonato as the power-hungry empress and transports the black political comedy to the present day, amplifying its satirical relevance.

Michael Mayer’s sumptuous staging, a highlight of the 2018–19 season, returns with Aleksandra Kurzak as the tragic heroine Violetta. Dmytro Popov is her ardent lover, Alfredo, and baritone Quinn Kelsey reprises his acclaimed portrayal of Germont. Karel Mark Chichon conducts.

Goethe’s Faust has inspired a number of operatic masterpieces, including Berlioz’s towering La Damnation de Faust. This month, the work takes the Met stage in a series of concert performances, starring some of opera’s most captivating artists.
