Live at the Met, the Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning series of live, high definition (HD) opera transmissions to theaters around the world, continues at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center at 1 p.m. Saturday with a magnificent presentation of Giacomo Puccini’s “Turandot.”

Ukrainian Soprano Liudmyla Monastyrska sings the title role of Puccini’s icy princess. Tenor Yonghoon Lee is the bold prince determined to win Turandot’s love, alongside soprano Ermonela Jaho as the devoted servant Liu and legendary bass Ferruccio Furlanetto as the blind king Timur.

Marco Armiliato conducts Puccini’s stirring score to Franco Zeffirelli’s indelible staging. Sung in Italian with English subtitles, the production runs three hours, 15 minutes, with two intermissions.

Individual tickets to each of the operas in the Live at the Met season are $20, ($18 Opera House members, $10 students). A flexible subscription of eight tickets which can be used in a variety of ways – one at a time to eight different operas, all at once for eight people, or anything in between – is available for $142.
