The Met: Live in HD supported financially by the Foundation of the Arts and Music in Asia, a Hong Kong-registered charity.
Yuval Sharon’s debut production featured an astonishing performance by the soprano Lise Davidsen. It is the event of the season.
And, really, the Met needed a show like this “Tristan.” The gold standard for grand opera in the United States...An artistic and box office success, it’s evidence of what the Met is capable of, and what’s now at stake.

Either way, the Met’s decision to revive this opera in its suitably vibrant production by Nicholas Joël with J. Knighten Smit as revival director is welcome.
For those unfamiliar with production, Joël’s production is very much in the traditional mold with some strong artistic choices. Act one features a massive mirror to set the stage for the Château de Coigny with corresponding couches and a harp. It’s minimalist and yet once all the artists come in in their sumptuous period-specific outfits, the space feels alive. The mirror is a perfect metaphor for a ruling class that never so much as looks around themselves.
