The Met: Live in HD Highlights Summer Festival 2010

Aida – Giuseppe Verdi   阿依達 - 威爾第

Set in ancient Egypt, Aida is both a heartbreaking love story and an epic drama full of spectacular crowd scenes. A cast of powerful voices and a grand production bring the story to life on the Met stage (and on the HD screen). Violeta Urmana stars in the title role of the enslaved Ethiopian princess, with Dolora Zajick as her rival. Johan Botha plays Radames, commander of the Egyptian army, and Daniele Gatti conducts. Among the score's highlights is the celebrated Triumphal March.

阿依達的故事發生在古埃及，是個令人心碎的愛情故事、充滿史詩劇的壯觀場面。故事透過演出者繞樑的歌聲，經高清傳送活現於觀眾眼前。Violeta Urmana飾演被奴役的埃塞俄比亞公主阿依達，而Dolora Zajick則飾演她的情敵。由Johan Botha飾演埃及軍隊司令拉達梅斯。歌劇由Daniele Gatti指揮。當中氣派宏偉的凱旋閱兵禮，是全劇的高潮之一。

Carmen – Georges Bizet  卡門 - 比才

One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen "is about sex, violence, and racism—and its corollary: freedom," says Olivier Award-winning director Richard Eyre about his new production of Bizet's drama. "It is one of the inalienably great works of art. It's sexy, in every sense. And I think it should be shocking." Elina Garanca sings the seductive gypsy of the title for the first time at the Met, opposite Roberto Alagna as the obsessed Don Jose.

卡門是最雅俗共賞的歌劇之一，榮獲英國奧利花獎的Richard Eyre為本劇導演。他形容本劇為：「色情，暴力，種族主義和自由的混合體」、「是偉大的傑作。它不僅無比性感，更震撼人心」。Elina Garanca首次在大都會劇院飾演誘人的吉普賽女主角卡門，Roberto Alagna飾演迷戀她的唐何西。

Les Contes d' Hoffmann – Jacques Offenbach  霍夫曼的故事 -奧芬巴赫

Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher (South Pacific) directs this new production, returning after the triumph of his Met Barber of Seville (seen Captured in HD in the 2006–07 season). Offenbach's fictionalized take on the life and loves of the German Romantic writer E.T.A. Hoffmann is a fascinating psychological journey. Met Music Director James Levine conducts Joseph Calleja in the tour-de-force title role. Anna Netrebko is the tragic Antonia and Alan Held sings the demonic four villains.

東尼獎得主Bartlett Sher繼在Met 2006-07樂季執導「塞維利亞理髮師」大獲好評後，再次執導。奧芬巴赫藉德國浪漫主義作家霍夫曼的三段奇幻的愛情故事，描述出一個迷人的心路歷程。由大都會劇院音樂總監James Levine指揮，Joseph Calleja主演霍夫曼。Anna Netrebko飾演悲慘的安東妮雅和Alan Held飾演如惡魔般的壞人林道夫。

Conductor 指揮 : James Levine; Production 編導 : Bartlett Sher; Cast 演出 : Kathleen Kim, Anna Netrebko, Ekaterina Gubanova, Kate Lindsey, Joseph Calleja, Alan Held

Turandot – Giacomo Puccini  杜蘭朵 -普契尼

Director Franco Zeffirelli's breathtaking production of Puccini's last opera is a favorite of the Met repertoire. Maria Guleghina plays the ruthless Chinese princess of the title, whose hatred of men is so strong that she has all suitors who can't solve her riddles beheaded. Marcello Giordani sings Calaf, the unknown prince who eventually wins her love and whose solos include the famous  "Nessun dorma."

杜蘭朵這齣動人心弦歌劇是普契尼創作的最後一齣歌劇，亦是Met最受歡迎的歌劇之一。由 Franco Zeffirelli執導，Maria Guleghina飾演無情的杜蘭朵公主。她對求婚的王子們不屑一顧，並將未能猜中謎語的追求者斬首。Marcello Giordani飾演最終贏得杜蘭朵芳心的卡拉富王子，詠唱著名的「公主徹夜未眠」。

Conductor 指揮 : Andris Nelsons; Production 編導 :Franco Zeffirelli; Cast 演出 : Maria Guleghina, Marina Poplavskaya, Marcello Giordani, Samuel Ramey
