Wagner’s 'Tannheuser' next offering of 'Met Live' in Potsdam Saturday

Posted

POTSDAM — The 2015-16 season of “The Met: Live in HD” continues Oct. 31 with Richard Wagner’s “Tannheuser” at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St.

The opera will be in high definition and digital surround sound at noon with an encore set for Nov. 8 at 6 p.m.

James Levine conducts Wagner’s early masterpiece in its first return to the Met stage in more than a decade.

Today’s leading Wagnerian tenor, Johan Botha, takes on the daunting title role of the young knight caught between true love and passion. Eva-Maria Westbroek is Elisabeth, adding another Wagner heroine to her Met repertoire after her acclaimed Sieglinde in the Ring a few seasons ago. On the heels of his recent triumph in Parsifal, Peter Mattei sings Wolfram, and Michelle DeYoung is the love goddess, Venus.

Tickets prices are the lowest available in the nation: $18 for an adult, $15 for senior citizens, $12 for students and $9 for youth age 18 and under.
