10/18 - Metropolitan Opera LIVE­ from NY - La Sonnambula - Woodridge

Metropolitan Opera LIVE from NY in HD - La Sonnambula -Bellini, 1831.
Saturday, October 18th, 12:00pm.
World premiere: Teatro Carcano, Milan, 1831. This operatic gem from one of the great masters of melody is a benchmark of extraordinary vocalism. The title role of the sleepwalking girl was composed for the greatest diva of the day, Giuditta Pasta (for whom Bellini also wrote the tragic role of Norma). The part requires a rare combination of innocence, charm, and breathtaking vocal virtuosity. Deeper than a comedy, but in no way a tragedy, La Sonnambula reaches its conclusion through genuine, poignant character development, rather than by intrigue or farce.
