POTSDAM -- The 2015 season of "The Met: Live in HD" continues Feb. 14 with Tchaikovsky's "Iolantha" & Bartók's "Duke Bluebeard's Castle" at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St.
The operas will be in high definition and digital surround sound at 12:55 p.m. on Saturday with an encore performance set for Feb. 22 at 6:30 p.m.
Approximate running time is three hours and forty minutes.
The acclaimed Polish film director Mariusz Trelinski leads this exciting new production inspired by classic noir films of the 1940s, to bring together two rarely performed one-act operas.
On the heels of her triumphant Met performances in Eugene Onegin, soprano Anna Netrebko takes on another Tchaikovsky heroine in the first opera of this intriguing double bill, consisting of an enchanting fairy tale (Iolanta) followed by a psychological thriller (Bluebeard’s Castle).
Netrebko stars as the beautiful blind girl who experiences love for the first time in Iolanta, while Nadja Michael is the unwitting victim of the diabolical Bluebeard, played by Mikhail Petrenko.
The operas will be performed in Russian and Hungarian, with English subtitles.
