One of opera’s grimmest tragedies received a powerful new production during the 2021–22 season when director Bartlett Sher unveiled his Weimar-era staging of Verdi’s Rigoletto. In this performance, recorded as part of the company’s Live in HD series of cinema transmissions, commanding American baritone Quinn Kelsey gives a searing portrayal of the title character, a deformed court jester determined to protect the virtue of his daughter, Gilda, sung by radiant soprano Rosa Feola. His debauched employer, the Duke of Mantua, is tenor Piotr Beczała, with dynamic young maestro Daniele Rustioni on the podium to lead a cast that also features bass Andrea Mastroni as the assassin Sparafucile and mezzo-soprano Varduhi Abrahamyan as Maddalena.

Возвышающийся библейский эпос, оперный взгляд Сен-Санса на историю Самсона и Далилы, обладает многими отличительными чертами большой оперы - захватывающими дух вокальными данными, захватывающими припевами и захватывающим сюжетом на обширном псевдоисторическом фоне. Вполне уместно, что «Самсон и Далила» были выбраны для празднования открытия сезона Метрополитена четыре раза в истории компании, в том числе когда премьера смелого нового спектакля Дарко Тресняка состоялась в первый вечер сезона 2018–2019. Несколько недель спустя опера была показана в рамках серии прямых кинотрансляций Метрополитена с участием исключительного состава. Тенор Роберто Аланья был героическим Самсоном, который в конце концов стал жертвой обольстительной силы Далилы - пленительной меццо-сопрано Элины Гаранчи. Бас-баритон Лоран Наури спел зловещую песню верховного жреца Дагона, а дирижер сэр Марк Элдер стоял на подиуме.
