Fedora

by Umberto Giordano
Opera Screening
Sung in Italian with English Subtitles
An NCPA – The Metropolitan Opera (New York) Presentation

Umberto Giordano’s exhilarating drama returns to the Met repertory for the first time in 25 years. Packed with memorable melodies, show-stopping arias and explosive confrontations, Fedora requires a cast of thrilling voices to take flight, and the Met’s new production promises to deliver. Soprano Sonya Yoncheva, one of today’s most riveting artistes, sings the title role of the 19th-century Russian princess who falls in love with her fiancé’s murderer, Count Loris, sung by tenor Piotr Beczała. Soprano Rosa Feola is the Countess Olga, Fedora’s confidante, and baritone Lucas Meachem is the diplomat De Siriex, with Met maestro Marco Armiliato conducting. Director David McVicar delivers a detailed and dramatic staging based around an ingenious fixed set that, like a Russian nesting doll, unfolds to reveal the opera’s three distinctive settings—a palace in St. Petersburg, a fashionable Parisian salon and a picturesque villa in the Swiss Alps.

Conductor: Marco Armiliato
Cast: Sonya Yoncheva, Rosa Feola, Piotr Beczała & Artur Ruciński
