12:30PM THE METROPOLITAN OPERA
Giuseppe Verdi: Don Carlo (1866)
The 2010-2011 Metropolitan Opera Radio Broadcast season kicks off with a live broadcast of Verdi’s Don Carlo. The first new Met production of the opera in more than 30 years is directed by Tony winner Nicholas Hytner and conducted by Philadelphia Orchestra Music Director Designate Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Host Margaret Juntwait returns for her seventh season, joined once again in the broadcast booth by commentator Ira Siff.
South Korean tenor Yonghoon Lee, who made a triumphant Met debut last month in the title role of Verdi’s opera, makes his Met broadcast debut as the conflicted Don Carlo. Marina Poplavskaya, praised by critics for her “luminous singing, beautiful pianissimo high notes and unforced power” (The New York Times), sings Elisabeth de Valois, torn between duty to her husband and love for his son. Ferruccio Furlanetto brings “aching expressivity and stentorian sound” (Times) to his acclaimed portrait of Philip II, the tormented and tormenting monarch of Spain. Russian mezzo-soprano Anna Smirnova, also making her network broadcast debut, is the scheming Princess Eboli; Simon Keenlyside is the revolutionary Rodrigo, Marquis of Posa; and Eric Halfvarson is the formidable Grand Inquisitor.
