Following her radiant performance in Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette—which garnered raves for “high notes that spun like liquid gold … Sierra touched the operatic firmament” (The New York Times)—superstar soprano Nadine Sierra takes on another alluring French heroine, the irresistible title character of Massenet’s passionate drama, live from the Met stage to cinemas worldwide. Leading tenor Matthew Polenzani is her idealistic lover, the Chevalier des Grieux, with rising-star baritone Andrzej Filo?czyk as her stalwart cousin, Lescaut, in a breathtaking Belle Époque staging by director Laurent Pelly. This live cinema transmission is part of The Met: Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
Presented in partnership with Des Moines Metro Opera. A representative from DMMO will be present 30 minutes before each screening to share information about DMMO, the upcoming 2027 Festival Season, and connect with patrons.
