LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY — SUNY Sullivan will host the return of the Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HDseries to its Seelig Theatre. Beginning on Saturday, October 11 and continuing on selected Saturdays through April 25, opera lovers will be able to enjoy live, on-screen performances from the Met Opera’s Peabody and Emmy award-winning Live in HD series. This season’s schedule of performances includes:

Giuseppe Verdi

Macbeth — October 11

Star soprano Anna Netrebko portrays Lady Macbeth, the mad and murderous mate of Željko Lučić’s doomed Macbeth, for the first time at the Met. Adrian Noble’s production of Verdi’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy also stars Joseph Calleja as the noble Macduff and René Pape as Banquo. Fabio Luisi conducts.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) – October 18

Met Music Director James Levine conducts a new production of Mozart’s masterpiece, directed by Richard Eyre, who sets the action of this classic domestic comedy in a 19th-century manor house in Seville, but during the gilded age of the late 1920s. Bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov leads the cast in the title role of the clever servant, opposite Marlis Petersen as his bride, Susanna, Peter Mattei as the philandering count they work for, Amanda Majeski as the long-suffering Countess, and Isabel Leonard as the libidinous pageboy Cherubino.
