The “Live in HD” high-definition simulcast series of productions from The New York Metropolitan Opera continues its 2014 – 2015 season at The Grand on April 25 at 12:30 p.m. with a presentation of Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. Opera’s most enduring tragic double bill returns in an evocative new production from Sir David McVar (the director of previous Met triumphs Giulio Cesare, Maria Stuarda, It Travatore), who sets the versimo action across two time periods but in the same Sicilian setting. Marcelo Álvaraez rises to the challenge of playing the dual tenor roles of Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana and Canio in Pagliacci. Rae Smith (War Horse) has designed the moody atmosphere 1900 village square setting of Cavallera Rusticana, which transforms to a 1948 truck stop for the doomed vaudeville troupe of Pagliacci. Eva-Maria Westbrook (Cav) and Patricia Racette (Pag) play the unlucky heriones. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium. Approximate HD runtime 3:30. Tickets are Reserved Seating for this hi def simulcast and the prices are as follows: $26 for Adults, $24 for Grand Members and $19 for Students (15&under).
