Sedona News – The Mary D. Fisher Theatre is honored to be the home for the Met Live Opera programs for the 2024-2025 season, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival.
The season will officially kick off with Offenbach’s “Les Contes d’Hoffmann” live via simulcast on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 10 a.m. and the encore presentation on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 3 p.m.
Plan to come early as Russell Fox will lead a pre-opera talk one hour before the LIVE production on Saturday.
Offenbach’s fantastical opera stars French tenor Benjamin Bernheim in the title role of the tormented poet. Joining Bernheim is American soprano Erin Morley as Olympia, South African soprano Pretty Yende as Antonia, and French mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine as Giulietta to complete Hoffmann’s trio of lovers. Marco Armiliato conducts Bartlett Sher’s evocative production, which also features American bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Four Villains and Russian mezzo-soprano Vasilisa Berzhanskaya in her company debut as Nicklausse.
The 2024-2025 Met Live Opera season in Sedona is generously sponsored by Bea Hanks and Chris Fladlien.
The Met Live Opera’s “Les Contes d’Hoffmann” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 10 a.m. (live simulcast) with an encore on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at 3 p.m. The pre-opera talk will take place one hour before the live Saturday simulcast.
