Live at the Met, the Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning series of live, high definition (HD) opera transmissions to theaters around the world, continues its 2017-18 season at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Saturday, April 14, at 12:30 p.m., with Giuseppe Verdi’s “Luisa Miller,” starring Placido Domingo and Sonya Yoncheva.

Domingo adds yet another chapter to his legacy with this rarely performed gem, a heart-wrenching tragedy of fatherly love. Sonya Yoncheva sings the title role of the peasant girl Luisa, opposite Piotr Beczala as Rodolfo in the first Met performances of the opera in more than a decade. Domingo is Luisa’s father.

Verdi’s tragedy about a young woman who sacrifices her own happiness in an attempt to save her father’s life also stars Olesya Petrova as Frederica. Alexander Vinogradov, making his Met debut, and Dmitry Belosselskiy are Walter and Wurm, the ruthless men determined to tear Luisa and Rodolfo apart.

Live at the Met telecasts are now shown in more than 2,000 theaters in 73 countries, making the Met the only arts institution with an ongoing global art series of this scale. The Met was the first arts company to experiment with this type of broadcast, beginning on a modest scale in 2006 and growing every season since then, with more than 10 million tickets sold to date.

Met Opera stars serve as hosts for the series, conducting live interviews with cast members, crew and production teams, and introducing the popular behind-the-scenes features; altogether, the worldwide audience is given an unprecedented look at what goes into the staging of an opera at one of the world’s great houses.

Individual tickets to each of the operas in the season are $20, ($18 Opera House members, $10 students). A flexible subscription of eight tickets which can be used however you want — one at a time to eight different operas, all at once for eight people, or anything in between — is available for $142. Tickets may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716-679-1891, Tuesday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online anytime at www.fredopera.org.
