Angel Blue stars as Aida in Met Opera simulcast at Strand Theatre, Jan. 25
ROCKLAND — A live broadcast from New York City’s Metropolitan Opera of Verdi’s Aida will be presented Saturday, Jan. 25, at 12:30 p.m., at the Strand Theatre. An encore will be screened on Tuesday, Feb. 4, at 12:30 p.m.
American soprano Angel Blue headlines as the Ethiopian princess torn between love and country in a new production of Aida by Michael Mayer that brings audiences inside the towering pyramids and gilded tombs of ancient Egypt with intricate projections and dazzling animations. Romanian-Hungarian mezzo-soprano Judit Kutasi also stars as Aida’s rival, Amneris, alongside Polish tenor Piotr Beczała as the soldier Radamès—completing opera’s greatest love triangle. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium.
This opera is sung in Italian, and presented with English subtitles.
Estimated running time is 3 hours 15 minutes, including one intermission.
