POTSDAM -- The next showing of “The Met: Live in HD” at the Roxy Theater will be Thomas Adès's "The Exterminating Angel" on Nov. 18 at 12:55 p.m., with an encore screening on Nov. 19 at 6:30 p.m.

Following the rapturous response to his last opera, “The Tempest,” the Met presents the American premiere of Thomas Adès’s “The Exterminating Angel,” inspired by the classic Luis Buñuel film of the same name.

Hailed by the New York Times at its 2016 Salzburg Festival premiere as “inventive and audacious … a major event,” “The Exterminating Angel” is a surreal fantasy about a dinner party from which the guests can’t escape.

Tom Cairns, who wrote the libretto, directs the new production, and Adès conducts his own adventurous new opera.

Tickets prices: $18 for an adult, $15 for senior citizens, $12 for students and $9 for youth age 18 and under. Discounts are available for groups of 10 people or more.

Tickets are available by calling the Community Performance Series Box Office at 315-267-2277, by visiting the Roxy Theater in downtown Potsdam or stopping by the CPS Box Office in the lobby of SUNY Potsdam's Performing Arts Center.

Sponsored by SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music and J.S. Cinemas, the twelfth season of the series offers live transmissions from the Metropolitan Opera stage beamed to movie screens in more than 2,000 movie theaters in 73 countries around the world.

All performances will be screened at the Roxy Theater, in downtown Potsdam. Robotic cameras, strategically placed around and behind the stage, capture the beauty and power of live performance from striking angles, and heighten attention to both performance and production. Intermission features and English subtitles will once again bring the stories to life.

All productions will be shown live worldwide on Saturdays. There will also be encore presentations offered on Sundays locally.
