Tomasz Konieczny, as the enigmatic mariner condemned to sail the seas forever, heads a superb cast in this Met Opera revival of François Girard’s murky production of Wagner’s early masterpiece.

With a stellar cast and fine orchestral playing, Mozart’s enigmatic fairy tale takes on a darker, more grown-up tone in its first new Metropolitan Opera staging in 19 years.

A loud, unsubtle performance of a loud, unsubtle production – the Met really deserves a new Aida.

Brett Dean’s Hamlet at the Met is a worthy addition to the operatic canon, and the production is a treat. 

Ailyn Pérez’ role debut as Tatiana in Eugene Onegin at the Metropolitan Opera is a joy, with Piotr Beczała's Lensky the evening’s other standout. 

Hell is a cold place with black walls and a black moon in Mary Zimmermann's production, which premiered at Los Angeles Opera in early 2020, and transfers to New York.

In its revival of the 2014 production of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, the Metropolitan Opera offers a satisfying blend of comic antics, beautifully realized music, and some top-notch singing in several roles.
