OPENING NIGHT GALA

starring RENÉE FLEMING


The Met’s 125th anniversary season opens September 22 with a celebratory gala starring the extraordinary Renée Fleming in three of her most acclaimed roles. Music Director James Levine and Marco Armiliato conduct fully staged performances of the second act of Verdi’s La Traviata, the third act of Massenet’s Manon, and the final scene from Richard Strauss’s Capriccio. Tenor Ramón Vargas and baritones Thomas Hampson and Dwayne Croft join the soprano for this season-opener. A cast supper in Damrosch Park, adjacent to the opera house, follows the performance.
