May be the pick of the season.Ģ2nd October 2016 – Mozart – Don Giovanni Perhaps best of all, Sir Simon Rattle conducts. The cast is outstanding Nina Stemme as Isolde, Stuart Skelton as Tristan, Ekaterina Gubanova as Brangäne, and René Pape as King Marke. This is a new production by Mariusz Treliński replacing the previous very forgettable one. Still for those who are still interested, here’s the line up.Ĩth October 2016 – Wagner – Tristan und Isolde For the operas I want to see I’ll wait for the DVD release. There aren’t that many productions in the program that I have any interest in and the combination of far too common technical problems, cheesey scripted and rehearsed “interviews” and over long intervals make it all rather tedious. For myself, I’ve pretty much had it with watching opera this way. There are again ten productions with what seems now to be a settled mix of a smattering of the Met’s new productions and a bunch of war horses that have already been broadcast.

The Met has announced it’s 2016/17 cinema season.
