The Metropolitan Opera 2024/2025 Season #OPERA

The Metropolitan Opera has announced its 2024-25 season. This time, in my opinion, it’s a better season, even though baroque and bel canto genres, as well as important composers like Wagner and Donizetti, are missing. If I had to pick my top three performances I am most looking forward to, they would be “Salome,“ “Die Frau ohne Schatten,“ and “Pique Dame“ with amazing casts and/or productions. What are your thoughts on the new season? New Productions: Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Verdi’s “Aida” in a new production by Michael Mayer. Angel Blue, Judit Kutasi, Piotr Beczała, Quinn Kelsey, Dmitry Belosselskiy, and Morris Robbinson. Alexander Soddy conducts the second cast with Christina Nilsson, Elīna Garanča, Brian Jagde, Eric Owens, Michael Chioldi, Amartüvshin Enkhbatyn, Alexander Vinogradov, and Krzysztof Bączyk. Deborah Colker directs Osvaldo Golijov’s “Ainadamar.” Miguel Harth-Bedoya conducts the opera which is set
